Edit menu
Undo — Reverse the most recent change you made. You can keep stepping backwards like this if there are more changes you want to undo.
Redo — Reenact the last change you undid. You can keep stepping forward through however many Undo commands you made.
Cut — Remove the selected text or items, putting them on the clipboard so you can paste them somewhere.
Copy — Put a copy of the selected text or items on the clipboard, so you can paste them somewhere.
Copy As Link — Put a link to the selected items on the clipboard; when you paste it, you get an address for each item.
Paste — Take whatever’s on the clipboard and insert it at the current selection. If the clipboard contains just text (not whole items), and you are editing the text of an item, the text is pasted at the insertion point. Otherwise, the contents of the clipboard are pasted as new items.
Paste and Match Style — Ignore any styles on the text you’re pasting and just use the style already there at the place you’re pasting into. Of course, this only makes a difference in notes, since that’s the only place where you can have special styles anyway.
Delete — Get rid of the selected text or items.
Select All — Select everything in the outline, or if you are editing an item’s text, all text in the cell.
Deselect All — Clear the selection completely so that nothing is selected.
Duplicate — Make another item just like the selected one, immediately after it.
Outlining — These commands change the hierarchical structure of the selected items. If you’re used to outlining applications, they may come in handy. Add Child — Create a new item belonging to the selected item; for instance if you have a project selected, this adds an action to the project.
Add Aunt — Create a new item at the same level as the selected item’s parent; for instance if you have an action selected at the top level of a project, this creates a new project.
Move — These commands rearrange the currently selected item in the outline hierarchy without affecting deselected items. Move Up and Move Down change an item’s location in relation to its siblings. Move Right and Move Left increase or decrease an item’s indentation level. When items move, their descendants move with them.
Indent — Move the selected item to the right, turning it into a child of the item before it in the outline.
Outdent — Move the selected item to the left, making it a sibling of what was its parent. This turns any of its siblings that came after it into its children.
Group — In the sidebar, group projects into folders or group contexts into supercontexts. In the main outline, group actions into projects or action groups.
Ungroup — Move all of the child items out of the selected item, and get rid of the selected item completely.
Sort — Perform a one-time sort of the selected items in the sidebar or the main outline, as long as you’ve selected something that can be reordered.
Edit Note — Move from the item text to the note area of an item, or move back from the note area to the item text.
Toggle All Notes — Show or hide all note areas with content.
Insert Time Stamp — Automatically type the current date or time, as defined by the Short Date, Long Date, and Time formats set up in System Preferences’ International pane.
Context — This submenu contains your contexts; choose one to assign it to the selected actions, or to set the default context for the selected project or group.
Status — Choose from this submenu to change the status for the selected project (Active, On Hold, Completed, or Dropped).
Mark Reviewed — Indicate that you’ve reviewed the selected project, thus resetting its next-review date.
Set/Clear Flag — Put flags on the selected items, or remove the flags if the selected items already have them.
Clean Up — Make OmniFocus tidy up after itself, so that all items obey your view settings. Also, take any inbox items you’ve assigned projects or contexts to and move them to where they belong in your library.
Find — This submenu contains the standard Find commands included in many Mac OS X applications: Find (which opens a window where you can use regular expressions and search-and-replace), Find Next, Find Previous, and Enter Selection (which enters the selected text as the text to search for).
Spelling — This submenu contains the standard Spelling commands for the Mac OS X spell checking system: Spelling (which opens the Spelling window), Check Spelling (which checks spelling in the document once), and Check Spelling As You Type (which turns the automatic spell checking on or off).
Speech — This submenu contains the Start Speaking and Stop Speaking commands, which you can use to make the Mac OS X text-to-speech system say the selected text out loud.
Special Characters — Open the Mac OS X Character Palette, where you can find characters not easily accessible from the keyboard, like ♆ and ☺.
