+<p><strong>Cursor Mode</strong></p>
+<p>Cursor mode is a new feature in Jalview 2.08, and allows more
+precise selection and editing of alignments through the use of the
+keyboard for both navigation and the input of editing and selection commands.</p>
+<p><em>F2</em> Toggles between normal and cursor editing modes. When
+in cursor mode, a black cursor appears in the residue area of the
+alignment, and any mouse clicks on that area will move the cursor to
+that position (this means that the region selection menu is
+unavailable in cursor mode).</p>
+<p><b>Navigation</b>
+<ul>
+ <li>Cursor keys - Move cursor around the alignment.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>S - Type a number x then press 'S' to jump to sequence x.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>C - Type a number x then press 'C' to jump to column x.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>P - Type a number x then press 'P' to jump to position x in current sequence.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>65,82<return> - Quick jump to column 65, sequence 82</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p><b>Defining Regions</b>
+<ul>
+ <li>Q - Define the top left corner of the selection area</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>M - Define the bottom right corner of the selection area<br>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p><b>Editing The Alignment</b>
+<ul>
+ <li>Space - Insert a gap at the cursor position. <br>
+ To insert 12 spaces at the current cursor, type 12 before pressing Space.<br>
+ To group insert, hold control or shift together with space.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>Delete (or backspace) - Delete a gap at the cursor position.<br>
+ To delete 12 spaces at the current cursor, type 12 before pressing
+ Delete (or backspace).<br>
+ To group delete, hold down control or shift together with Delete
+ (or backspace).</li>
+</ul>
