<p><strong>Editing</strong></p>\r
-<p><em>Jalview 2.08 Enhancements -</em> Editing can be restricted to the current \r
- selection area. This allows the user to "Lock" the alignment either \r
- side of the selection area. Any gap insertions or deletions will only affect \r
- the current selection area. </p>\r
-<p><img src="editing.jpg" width="428" height="186" align="top"></p>\r
-<p>In this example, if Sequence IL2RA_MACMU has gaps removed from position 98-104, \r
- the same number of gaps will be inserted at position 116, (between M and L). \r
-</p>\r
-<p>Editing is possible via the keyboard by toggling the Cursor mode on / off with \r
- F2. A full list of keyboard editing actions is found <a href="../keys.html">here</a>. \r
-</p>\r
+<p>There are two major ways to edit alignments - in 'Normal mode',\r
+gaps are inserted and deleted at the mouse pointer in various ways by\r
+clicking the left mouse button and pressing a combination of either\r
+shift and control (or the apple key on Macs) and dragging the mouse. Pressing\r
+<em>F2</em> toggles the alternative <a href="../features/cursorMode.html">'Cursor\r
+mode'</a> keyboard editing facility, where the space bar and delete \r
+keys add and remove gaps at the current editing position. The key\r
+strokes for both these modes are summarised in the <a\r
+href="../keys.html">keystrokes table</a>.</p>\r
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> For large alignments, deselect "Calculate -> \r
Autocalculate Consensus" to prevent the alignment performing lengthy calculations \r
after every edit. </p>\r
