Text and elements in Stylo can be copied, cut, and pasted. The function can be activated using the following keyboard commands:

By pressing Shift + Return, a manual line break ("soft return") can now be created, i.e., a line break can be forced within a paragraph. If you want to push a line to a block, use the key combination Ctrl + Return.

In the administration of Stylo, the call logic can be reversed.

When you position the mouse over the edges of boxes, the "cross cursor" appears. A click with the left mouse button then selects the box. A double-click in the text activates the text cursor.

Graphic objects can be selected with the control key. Holding the Ctrl key allows you to add more objects to the selection.

You can also draw a lasso with the mouse to select objects. If there are objects in the background that could potentially be moved by the lasso (background images), you can simplify the lasso selection by holding down the Ctrl and Shift keys while dragging. In the administration of Stylo, you can specify whether the lasso should encompass all objects for selection or only touch them.

Using the arrow keys on the keyboard, you can jump from one text frame to the next adjacent text frame above or below.

If the insertion point is in the last line of a text frame (or text flow), you can jump to the next (lower) text frame using the "Down Arrow" key. If the insertion point is positioned in the first line of a text frame, you can switch to the previous (upper) text frame using the "Up Arrow" key.

If there is a link in the current text frame via vertical alignment, the other text blocks in the vertical alignment group are considered when determining the next or previous text frame; otherwise, the determination is based on coordinates.

In Stylo, when moving and resizing using the mouse, a snap grid can be used. There are two different types of snap grids available.

The first type is, in the broadest sense, a (configurable) column and row grid. The horizontal grid is defined in the configuration (administration interface) by the position and type of the individual vertical grid lines. The type (Left, Right, All) of the grid line determines whether a vertical line acts as a grid line only when moving an object to the left, only when moving to the right, or generally as a grid line.

The vertical grid is determined in the configuration by the default font size and the default line spacing. When moving an object (vertically) upwards, it snaps directly onto a line. When moving an object (vertically) downwards, it snaps onto a line position minus one standard line spacing. This way, text frames can be aligned precisely to the line.

Additionally, the size of the area in which snapping should occur, as well as the colors for the grid lines, can be defined in the configuration.

The column grid can be activated via the "Grid" function in the display menu.

The second type is an automatic snap grid created from the horizontal and vertical boundary lines of all existing objects (except the selected object). This allows you to easily align the currently selected object with the other objects. In addition to the lines of the objects, automatic snap grid lines are placed at the document boundary and at the distances (margins) defined in the object properties of the display.

The automatic snap grid is also activated via the display menu.

To create guide lines, you must first activate the ruler in the toolbar. The visibility of the guide lines can be toggled on or off via the display menu.

From the ruler, you can then draw horizontal and vertical guide lines. Clicking the white space in the upper left corner simultaneously creates horizontal and vertical guide lines.

The current position is also displayed at that point. The unit of measurement is determined via the administration of Stylo. You can also specify the color with which the guide line is drawn.

The guide line is magnetic, and objects will snap to it when you move the objects in the direction of the line.

If you want to delete a guide line, you can either select and delete it or drag it back into the ruler area.

The properties of the guide line can be accessed via the context menu.

Position: Here you can set the x or y axis of the line.

Magnetic: Guide lines are always magnetic by default. This can be turned off here.

Color: In the administration of Stylo, the default guide line color is set. You can change this for individual guide lines here.

In the Stylo administration, you can specify what color a guide line should have by default and in which unit of measurement the position is displayed during movement.
