`TXTextControl` has a built-in mouse and keyboard interface: users select, move, copy and edit text, move around in tables and insert hyphens and breaks with the mouse and the keyboard. The pages below list each mouse action and key and what the control does in response.

The general mouse actions and keys come first; tables and hyphens have pages of their own.
