== Editing mathematical formulae ==
 
{| cellpadding="15"
| To add a new mathematical formula to the page, place your cursor where you want it to be inserted, and click on the "{{int:math-visualeditor-mwmathinspector-title}}" icon ("Σ") in the "{{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}}" menu on the toolbar.

| A window will open in which you can type the formula, using LaTeX syntax. VisualEditor will update the formula as you type it, so you can see how it will look as you make changes. Once you are happy with the formula, click the "{{int:visualeditor-dialog-action-done}}" button.

== Editing poems and other special items ==

| In most cases, the existing items can be edited, but new ones cannot be inserted in VisualEditor.

| You cannot add an automatic datestamp to a page in VisualEditor.
Until they are fully supported, you can copy an existing one from another page, or edit the source wikitext directly.

==Moving pages==
Moving a page with VisualEditor is functionally the same as moving it with the [[source editor]]; see [[Help:How to move a page]] for an introduction to moving pages, or [[Wikipedia:Moving a page]] for more detailed instructions.
 
== Keyboard shortcuts ==
 
Many editors are used to entering wikitext directly, especially bold, italics and wikilinks. [[mw:VisualEditor/Portal/Keyboard shortcuts|Keyboard shortcuts]] allow to quickly insert similar formatting without having to use toolbar items. Here are the common general shortcuts in VisualEditor:
