- residues</p>\r
-<p>Control 'A' - Selects all sequences in the alignment.</p>\r
-<p>Control 'C' - Copies the selected region, in Fasta format (Not applet, as no \r

-<p>Control 'X' - Cuts the selected region from the alignment window.</p>\r
-<p>Control 'Z' - Undoes the last sequence edit. </p>\r
-<p>Control 'F' - Launches the search window. </p>\r
-<p>Up Arrow - Moves selected sequence(s) up the alignment</p>\r

-<ul>\r
- <li>Cursor keys - Move cursor around the alignment.</li>\r
-</ul>\r
-<ul>\r
- <li>Space - Insert a gap at the cursor position. <br>\r
