Previous: Entering Text
Text can be copied from one place to another in an edit window
by selecting the region of text to be copied
using the
SEL
key as before, placing the cursor where the selected text is to appear,
and striking
.
One may also copy text between edit windows by selecting text, jumping to the
appropriate window using the JUMP
key, placing the cursor at the appropriate
spot and striking
.
As with a kill
operation, when a copy is performed the endpoints of the selected region are
forgotten. If
is pressed while no region is selected then
the contents of the kill buffer are copied at the cursor position. Using
the copy operation in conjunction with the kill buffer
does not destroy the
contents of the kill buffer, so this is a convenient way to make multiple
copies of a given piece of text.
