>> Hey everyone, welcome to Tekzilla Daily, I'm Veronica Belmont. If you're having issues with editing texts in OS X or Windows, Tekzilla viewer Sebatian has a tip for you. When you're typing in OS X, just hold option when you hit backspace to erase the full word behind your cursor instead of just the first letter. Also if you wanna erase the word in front of your cursor, you can hold option and hit the delete key. Thanks Sebastian. Now this also works with the control key in Windows as well. Or you can select the text instead by using the Shift key with the arrow keys. And while you can use the mouse for the same thing, any good typist knows, the less you have to move your hands off the keyboard, the better. Got a tip for us to pass along to the rest of the TZ crew, then e-mail us at tekzilla@revision3.com. And as always, tekzilla.com, it's "the Place" to find more tips, tricks, product reviews and how-tos. ^M00:00:54
