Similarly, if you select a formula and you click on <menu|Insert|Fraction>,
then the formula becomes the numerator of the newly created fraction.
When using the copy and paste mechanism to communicate with other
applications, text is copied and pasted using the <TeXmacs> data format.
You may specify other import and export formats using <menu|Edit|Import>
resp. <menu|Edit|Export>. By default, copying and pasting uses the primary
text buffer. Using <menu|Edit|Copy to> and <menu|Edit|Paste from>, you may
specify as many other buffers as you like.
You may specify other import and export formats using
<menu|Tools|Miscellaneous|Import selections as> <abbr|resp.>
<menu|Tools|Miscellaneous|Export selections as>. Alternatively, you may
directly copy to or paste from an external format using the first group of
entries in the <menu|Edit|Copy to> and <menu|Edit|Paste from> submenus. For
instance, a <LaTeX> formula can be pasted inside a <TeXmacs> formula using
<menu|Edit|Paste from|LaTeX>.
By default, copying and pasting uses the \Pprimary clipboard\Q. Using the
remaining entries in the <menu|Edit|Copy to> and <menu|Edit|Paste from>
menus, you may specify as many other clipboards as you like. This allows
you to keep multiple selections in memory, ready to be pasted.
There are two ways to make selections using the keyboard. When using the
cursor keys <key|left>, <key|right>, <abbr|etc.> while holding down the
<prefix|S-> button, you may select text while moving around the cursor.

Alternatively, you may press <shortcut|(kbd-select-enlarge)> once to fix a

selected. The selection gets cleared when pressing

<tmdoc-title|Editing tools>
In this chapter, we discuss the general editing facilities present in
<TeXmacs>. Besides classical features, like ``cut and paste'', ``search and
replace'', <abbr|etc.>, <TeXmacs> also supports additional functionality
which exploits the document structure. Examples of such features are
\ ``structured cursor movement'' and ``structured variants''. It should be
noticed that more traditional functions like ``search and replace'' also
attempt to exploit the structure. For instance, when searching <math|x> in
math mode, you will only find matches which are also in math mode.
In this chapter, we discuss some of the general editing facilities that are
implemented in <TeXmacs>. Of course, this includes basic operations that
can also be found in other editors: \Pcut and paste\Q, \Psearch and
replace\Q, etc. But, more interestingly, some of these facilities take
advantage of the additional structure of <TeXmacs> documents. Typical
examples of \Pstructured editing features\Q are \Pstructured cursor
movement\Q and \Pstructured variants\Q. Traditional operations such as
\Psearch and replace\Q also attempt to exploit the document structure. For
instance, when searching <math|x> in math mode, you will only find matches
that are also in math mode.

As a general rule, the behaviour of most structured editing operations is
conditioned by the <em|<rigid|current focus>>. By default, the innermost
tag that contains the cursor. Whenever some selection is active, the
current focus is the innermost tag that contains the selection. During
structured operations, such as navigating among similar tags, the current
focus may temporarily be set to something else. The current focus is

It is possible to gradually undo the changes you made in a document from

multiple undo and redo actions, this means that there can be several ways
to redo some modification; in that case, <menu|Edit|Redo> becomes a menu in

undone is limited to 100 (by default). It is possible to increase this
number by adding a command like\
We notice that only changes in the document itself are taken into account
by the undo system. In particular, modifications of most of the global
document properties can not be undone. This includes modifications of the
document style, the page size, the main font, etc. The same remark applies
to any modifications outside <TeXmacs> that were triggered by your actions.
For instance, in a computer algebra session, you can undo your edits inside

system.
