About the Documentation

Occasionally in this documenation we'll mention shortcut keys and menu items that perform actions. In reality in order to make something italic, you'll need to select it, and then click on the Format menu at the top of the screen, hover over the Font menu item and then go to the right to select the Italic option. From now on that will be truncated to "Format->Font->Italic." You may also find it helpful to use the shortcut key which is Command + I. If you find yourself making a lot of things italic, try using the shortcut, it'll sink into muscle memory before you know it. If you're not sure what the shortcut is for an action, it will be listed next to the menu item. The image below is what the Font menu will look like. You can see "Italic" is selected, and the shortcut "Command I" is written to the right of it.



For the convenience of this tutorial, we'll also start abbreviating shortcuts as follows:

Command or ⌘ – Cmd
Control or ^ – Cntrl
Option or ⌥ – Opt
Shift or ⇧ – Shft

So that holding the Command and the Option keys simultaneously while pressing the "k" key will be abbreviated Cmd-Opt-k.
