Part II: Basic Use

These sections help you gain proficiency in basic editing tasks in Zed, including viewing, editing, navigating, creating and deleting constituent elements of mathematical expressions.


Basic Mathematical Viewing

This section helps you understand the basic structure of the mathematical expressions you will be editing using Zed, and the mechanisms you will use to interact with both content and presentation MathML.


Basic Mathematical Editing

This section helps you understand how to use standard editing operations in the context of editing mathematical expressions in Zed, including the File menu, the Edit menu, support for cut and paste operations, and drag and drop support.


Navigating Mathematical Expressions

This section helps you understand how to navigate the expression cursor around the hierarchical structure of a mathematical expression in Zed, including the use of the arrow keys, extended selection, placeholder elements, and the use of the mouse.


Inserting Mathematical Expressions

This section helps you understand how to create the operators and identifiers that make up the basic structure of mathematical expressions in Zed, including the use of templates, keyboard accelerators, menu items, and palettes.


Deleting Mathematical Expressions

This section helps you understand how to delete the operators and identifiers that make up the basic structure of mathematical expressions in Zed, including the use of the delete/backspace keys, undo and redo, and special templates for removing expression structure.
