<h2>Using the mouse and keyboard</h2>
-<p>Select the object(s) and then press the Delete key. This does <strong>not</strong> put the deleted object(s) into the cut buffer, so they cannot be pasted elsewhere.</p>
-<h2>Using normal cut and paste</h2>
-<p>Select the object(s) and then press <kbd class="mod1">x</kbd>. This puts the deleted object(s) into the cut buffer so that they can be pasted elsewhere.</p>
+<p>
+ Select the object(s) and then press the <kbd>Del</kbd> key.
+ This does <strong>not</strong> put the deleted object(s) into the cut
+ buffer, so they cannot be pasted elsewhere.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Using normal cut and paste shortcuts</h2>
+<p>
+ Select the object(s) and then press <kbd class="mod1">x</kbd>. This puts
+ the deleted object(s) into the cut buffer so that they could be pasted
+ elsewhere.

<h2>Using just the mouse</h2>
-<p>By default, <kbd>Shift-right-click</kbd> will delete the clicked-upon object. Like the Delete key, this does <strong>not</strong> put the deleted object(s) into the cut buffer, so they cannot be pasted elsewhere.</p>
-<p>The modifier and mouse button used for this can be controlled via <code>Edit > Preferences > User Interaction > Delete using ...</code>. Any modifier and mouse button combination can be used.</p>
