These functions provide cut’n’paste functionality:
anchor
, pre-bound to: Alt-AThis drops an anchor at the current cursor position. You have to drop two anchors at different places, then the text between the two anchors will be highlighted and treated as a selected text block.
cut
, pre-bound to: Alt-CThis will cut the currently selected text block (use anchor
to select
a text block), i.E., it will delete all selected characters and store them in
an internal clipboard. Text that previously was stored in the clipboard will
of course be discarded.
paste
, pre-bound to: Alt-PThis will paste (insert) the text block from the clipboard (i.E. the last text
that has been cut with the cut
function) at the current cursor
position.
unblock
, pre-bound to: Alt-UAny anchors that have been dropped with the anchor
function will be
removed, that is, any previously highlighted text will again be displayed
normally.
