  Undo

  Reverses the last action taken. Text sent over the terminal by typing, pasting, or dragging can not be undone, but changes to editable fields in preference panels can.

  Redo

  Reverses the last undo.

  Cut

  Deletes the selected object and places it on the clipboard. By its nature, text in the terminal window can’t be deleted or cut, but this command can be used in preference panels.

  Copy

  Places a copy of the selected object on the clipboard. When text is copied from a terminal window, Crescat will provide a rich-text representation (including underline and font information). This version of Crescat cannot copy the bold text attribute.

  Paste

  Puts the contents of the clipboard into the selection. If a terminal window is frontmost, Crescat will send the text contents of the clipboard as though it had been typed; accented characters will be sent as ISO-Latin-1 codes, and new-line sequences will be sent as carriage returns.

  Delete

  Deletes the selected object. By its nature, text in the terminal window can’t be deleted or cut, but this command can be used in preference panels.

  Select All

  In a terminal window, this selects the entire contents of the window, both the current terminal contents and the scrollback.

  Select Screen (Command-Option-A)

  In a terminal window, selects only the contents of the active terminal screen, and not the scrollback buffer.

  Clear Scrollback

  Removes all the text from the scrollback portion of the active terminal window.

  Reconnect

  If the active terminal window has been disconnected from the remote host, this command allows you to reconnect in the same window. The login sheet will appear, and communications with the remote host will be appended to what is already in the window. This command is available only if you have elected to leave disconnected windows open in the general preferences pane.

  Find | Find…

  Displays a dialog box into which you can type text you wish to search for in the active terminal window and its scrollback. The dialog provides options for reverse search and case-sensitivity. If the text sought is found, Crescat highlights it and scrolls the terminal window to make it visible. Searching will automatically “wrap around;” if the search has to pass the end (or beginning, in the case of a reverse search) of the window's contents, Crescat will beep. A beep without highlighting or scrolling indicates that the text was not found.

  Find | Find Next

  If a search string has been specified with either the Find… or Use Selection for Find command, repeats the search, progressing forward from the last successful find.

  Find | Find Previous

  If a search string has been specified with either the Find… or Use Selection for Find command, repeats the search, progressing backward from the last successful find.

  Find | Use Selection for Find

  Enters the selected text in the terminal window as the text to search for in subsequent Find commands.

  Find | Jump to Selection

  Scrolls the contents of the terminal window so that the selected text (whether selected by you or by a Find command) is visible.

  Check Spelling

  When this item is checked, Crescat periodically passes the contents of the terminal screen through the Mac OS X spelling checker. Words that appear to be misspelled will be marked with a dotted red underline, and control-clicking on them (or right-clicking, if you have a multi-button mouse) may provide a list of suggested alternate spellings. Selecting an alternate spelling will type that spelling into the terminal.
