Editing Moreorless (section)

= Copying, cutting and pasting simple text data = 

As a (mental) cost saving measure (for its programmer) moreorless differenti-
ates between a clipboard for simple text strings and a clipboard for blocks of
full lines. The clipboard for simple strings can be controlled via the key
bindings ''Ctrl+c'', ''Ctrl+x'' and ''Ctrl+v''. 

These commands make use of a so called mark which can be set by ''Foenix+space''
or ''Foenix+m''. If a mark is set this is visualized in the top right corner by
an ''M'' character. A mark is invalidated by any change to the document or at the
end of an operation which made use of that mark.

In order to copy or cut a simple string you first have to set a mark at the
first character you want to select. You then move the cursor to the last
character you want to copy or cut and either press ''Ctrl+c'' or ''Ctrl+x''. Both
of these characters have to be in the same line and are part of the selection.
This allows for copying or cutting a single character.

In lines which are shorter than 80 characters you can move the cursor beyond
the last character. It has to be noted that this position is not a valid
position for copying and cutting of simple strings. After setting the mark it
is possibe to move the cursor either left or right to determine the last
character of the selection.

''Ctrl+v'' can be used to insert a previously copied or cut text string into
the current line. It has to be noted that this command will do nothing if the
string which is currently in the clipboard would make the line longer than 80
characters.
