- Copy Transparent Map (copies map as vector-based graphic for pasting into compatible software)
- Delete Bases and Skip Warnings (if you select a feature and hold down the option key and choose this menu option [or hit delete], then the feature and it's corresponding sequence will be deleted without a warning)
