Clipboard commands

Clipboard commands are accessible from the Editor SpeedMenu and from the Edit submenu.

Cut command

Hot key: Ctrl+X or Shift+Del

Use this command to remove selected text and place it on the Clipboard. This command is unavailable if you have no selected text. Cutting text to the Clipboard replaces any text previously stored there.

Copy command

Hot key: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Ins

Use this command to copy selected text onto the Clipboard. This command is unavailable if you have no selected text. Copying text to the Clipboard replaces any text previously stored there.

Delete command

Hot key: Alt+Del or Del

This command removes the selected text but does not copy it to the Clipboard.

The Delete is useful if you want to delete superfluous text, but you do not want to overwrite the contents of the Clipboard text buffer.

Note that If you type while you have a block selected that block will be deleted and replaced by the character typed.

Paste command

Hot key: Ctrl+V or Shift+Ins

This command places a copy of the Clipboard contents at the insertion point. It is unavailable if the Clipboard is empty.
