_Note 1: _In Ctrl+\*, the \* (asterisk) may be any character A through Z plus \[,\],\\,^,\_). The fold operation is a three-way toggle between all upper case, all lower case, title case.

_Note 2:_ In some contexts, like within special-purpose GUI controls such as the date picker or up/down control, the arrow keys may only work within the control. In such cases, to get the exitcode behavior described in the table above, you can use Ctrl+Arrow.
