GUIGUTS VERSION 2 MANUAL
Describes features included in release 2.0.0 (July 2025)
Guiguts has a surprisingly large number of ways to help you move around within the text, and to find different kinds of tags, markups, strings, and locations. This topic covers most of them; the Search & Replace dialog, which you are likely to keep open most of the time, is a separate topic unto itself.
Scrolling the Text
You scroll the text in the window using the Page Up and Page Down keys; or by dragging or clicking in the vertical and horizontal scroll bars.
In Windows you can use the middle button of a three-button mouse in either of two ways. You can drag the text up and down by holding the middle button and dragging in the text window. Use middle-drag to reposition the text by a few lines. You can also use middle-scrolling in the manner of the Firefox browser: middle-click (don't drag) to open a scroll indicator. The move the mouse pointer up or down (without holding any buttons) and the text will scroll in the same direction.
Moving the Cursor
You move the cursor through the file with keys that should, for the most part, be familiar. The arrow, page, home and end keys move small distances:
| left arrow | prior character |
| right arrow | next character |
| up arrow | line above |
| down arrow | line below |
| home (cmd-left arrow on Macs) | left end of line; repeat to move to first non-space |
| end (cmd-right arrow on Macs) | right end of line |
| page up | move up the file by one window-height |
| page down | move down the file by one window-height |
Hold down the control key to modify the effects of these keys:
| ctrl-left arrow | prior word |
| ctrl-right arrow | next word |
| ctrl-up arrow | previous paragraph |
| ctrl-down arrow | next paragraph |
| ctrl-home (cmd-up arrow on Macs) | top of file |
| ctrl-end (cmd-down arrow on Macs) | end of file |
| ctrl-page up | shift the display left to show the left margin |
| ctrl-page down | shift the display right to show the rightmost letter |
Using any of these keys clears the selection, if there is a selection.
