### Cutting/Copying Text

Java Files will contain all of the source code for your Java programming tasks. Before you can add Java files, you need to have a project to add them to. See "Creating a new Gild Project" for more information. After you have a project, adding java files is easy. It can be done one of two ways: by creating a new Java file; or by importing files into your project.

1. In the Gild Editor, select the text that you would like to cut or copy. This is accomplished by clicking and dragging the mouse over the text that you would like to select, or by holding the "shift" key while using the arrow keys to navigate through the text.
2. Right-click in the Gild Editor.
3. In the pop-up menu, select "Cut" to cut the text. Select "Copy" to copy the text.

Alternatively, you can use shortcut keys:

1. In the Gild Editor, select the text that you would like to cut or copy.
2. Press "Ctrl+X" to cut; "Ctrl+C" to copy.
