the very end of a paragraph the command selects the paragraph
behind the insertion point.
▸ Invert Selection Selects everything that is not selected, an excellent way to find
everything that is not “x”.
▸ Previous Selection Moves your insertion point to its previous selection. If it was a
location and not a selection Nisus Writer Pro flashes the line with
the color set for Flash Selection in the Appearance preferences.
▸ Next Selection If you have used Previous Selection, this command returns your
insertion point to its next selection. If it was a location and not a
selection Nisus Writer Pro flashes the line with the color set for
Flash Selection in the Appearance preferences.
▸ Flash Selection Causes the insertion point or selected area of your text to become
more visible by bringing it to the center of the window and “flashing”
the line or selection. If there is no selection, but only an insertion
point, the flash narrows to focus on that point. The command works
on the active document even if the Find/Replace window is in front
of it. Nisus Writer Pro flashes the line with the color set for Flash
Selection in the Appearance preferences.
▸ Flash Next in Multipart Selection
Causes the next selection of a multipart selection to “flash”. The
command works on the active document even if the Find/Replace
window is in front of it. Nisus Writer Pro flashes the selection with
the color set for Flash Selection in the Appearance preferences.
▸ Flash Previous in Multipart Selection
Causes the previous selection of a multipart selection to “flash”. The
command works on the active document even if the Find/Replace
window is in front of it. Nisus Writer Pro flashes the selection with
the color set for Flash Selection in the Appearance preferences.
Complete Presents a “menuoid” that offers words that would complete the word you began to
type. Most useful by using its keyboard shortcut (initially set at 0).
Expand Glossary
Expands Glossary abbreviations created by using the Glossary tools of the
QuickFix preference. This is especially useful for East Asian (ideographic)
languages that don’t have spaces between characters.
Convert Choose commands from the Convert submenu to quickly change the kind of
quotes and/or the case of text in a selection.
These commands are not to be confused with the commands with similar names
that appear in the menu Format > Character Case. The commands here alter the
actual Unicode values (in addition to the appearance) of the characters. If you
copy and/or paste the text only at a different location (either in Nisus Writer Pro
or some other application) the underlying characters will not change.
▸ Plain Quotes to Smart Quotes
Changes all quotes in the current selection to “Smart
Quotes” (sometimes called “curly” quotes).
▸ Smart Quotes to Plain Quotes
Changes all quotes in the current selection to "Plain
Quotes" (sometimes called "dumb" quotes).
▸ To lowercase Changes the current selection to all lowercase characters.
▸ To UPPERCASE Changes the current selection to all UPPERCASE characters.
▸ To Capitalized Makes the first letters of all words in the current selection
uppercase characters. If any uppercase characters appear in the
selection (and not at the beginning of words) Nisus Writer Pro makes
these lowercase.
▸ To Small Caps Changes the current selection so that all lowercase characters are
reduced by approximately 75 percent and then exchanged with their
equivalent uppercase characters.
▸ To Toggled Case Switches UPPERCASE characters in the current selection to
lowercase characters and lowercase to uppercase.
▸ To Unicode Code Points
Changes the character displayed to its appropriate value in the
Unicode codespace; that is, the range of integers from 0 to
10FFFF
