Shamus Hammons dfec6899ef Initial cleanup of manual content.
This includes fixing em-dashes, badly spaced colons, various
misspellings, removal of spurious {% %} constructs, conversion of <br />
to <br> (still too many <br>s kicking around), and initial light cleanup
of a few sections that caught my eye.

control events, plugins) that is used during <dfn>cut-and-paste
operations</dfn>.
</p>
<h2>Cut</h2>

The default key binding is <kbd class="mod1">x</kbd>.
</p>
<h2>Copy</h2>

no effect on the selected objects themselves. The existing contents of the
