<p>Users can access editing functions using the editing menu. It is opened
by a short press of the star (*) key (or by pressing the Edit key on some
devices) when in a text editor. The editing menu looks and functions like
the <uicontrol>Options</uicontrol> menu, but it contains only text editing
functions, whereas other available options remain accessible from the <uicontrol>Options</uicontrol> menu.
The following table describes the options in the editing menu.</p>
<note><p>Only items that apply to the editor in use appear in the menu.</p></note>
