+<title>Working with the Selection</title>
+
+<para>There are two basic ways of selecting text in &kate;: using the
+mouse, and using the keyboard.</para>
+
+<para>To select using the mouse, hold down the &LMB; while dragging
+the mouse cursor from where the selection should start, to the desired
+end point. The text gets selected as you drag.</para>
+
+<para>Double-clicking a word will select that word.</para>
+
+<para>Triple-clicking in a line will select the entire line.</para>
+
+<para>If &Shift; is held down while clicking, text will be
+selected:</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>If nothing is already selected, from the text cursor
+position to the mouse cursor position.</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>If there is a selection, from and including that
+selection to the mouse cursor position</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<note>
+<para>When selecting text by dragging the mouse, the
+selected text is copied to the clipboard, and can be pasted by
+clicking the middle mouse button in the editor, or in any other
+application to which you want to paste the text.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>To select using the keyboard, hold down the &Shift; key while
+using the navigation keys (The Arrow keys, <keycap>Page Up</keycap>,
+<keycap>Page Down</keycap>, <keycap>Home</keycap> and
+<keycap>End</keycap>, possibly in combination with &Ctrl; to extend
+the move of the text cursor).</para>
+
+<para>See also the section <link
+linkend="kate-part-navigation">Navigating in the Text</link> in this
+Chapter.</para>

+shortcut (defaults to <keycombo
+action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>C</keycap></keycombo>).</para>

+<title>Using Block Selection</title>

+example.</para>

+enabled, new text will be added at the position of the text
+cursor.</para>
+
+<para>Overwrite Selection is enabled by default.</para>
