<TeXmacs|1.0.5.3> <style|tmdoc> <\body> <tmdoc-title|Cut and paste> You can select text and formulas by maintaining the left mouse button. In order to delete the selected region, use <menu|Edit|Cut>. In order to copy the selected region, first click on <menu|Edit|Copy>. Next, paste it as many times as you want to the location of your cursor, using <menu|Edit|Paste>. Alternatively, you may copy a selected region using the middle mouse button. It is also possible to the change text properties of a selected region. For instance, in order to transform some black text in red, you select it using the left mouse button and click on <menu|Format|Color|Red>. Similarly, if you select a formula and you click on <menu|Insert|Fraction>, then the formula becomes the numerator of some 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. 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 starting position. When moving around using the cursor keys, the text between the starting position and the current position keeps being selected. The selection gets cleared when pressing <shortcut|(selection-cancel)>. Notice that the <shortcut|(kbd-select-enlarge)> shortcut also allows you to make <em|structured selections>. You may select the current word you are in by pressing<nbsp><shortcut|(kbd-select-enlarge)> twice. Each additional time you press <shortcut|(kbd-select-enlarge)> results in the selection of the smallest structure which englobes the current selection. Ultimately, when the entire document gets selected, pressing <shortcut|(kbd-select-enlarge)> once more clears the selection. <tmdoc-copyright|1998--2002|Joris van der Hoeven> <tmdoc-license|Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts.
