[StrongED] keystrokes for cut-and-paste; clipboard Q
Can somebody please remind me how to customize the behaviour of
certain shortcut keys. (I'm using StrongEd 4.68 here on both Iyonix
5.18 and RiscPC 4.39.)
As shown in the "Quick reference" page of its Stronghelp, StrongEd
uses c-X to delete a block, c-C to copy it, c-V to move it.
Add the SHIFT key to give what the help-page on Block Handling calls
"the newer cut-and-paste operations" -- i.e., cs-X to cut the block to
the clipboard, cs-C to copy the block to the clipboard, cs-V to paste
from the clipboard to the current cursor location.
I seem to recall that it is possible to swap these operations, but I
can't find any mention of how. I'd feel more at home if the "newer"
operations happen without Shift, in line with most other applications.
I'd invoke Shift for the more arcane old-style ops that I have never
liked.
Can anybody enlighten me, please?
Two by-the-way points occur while writing this:
- The "clipboard" referred to in the Stronghelp: is that the
so-called global clipboard or some clipboard internal to StrongEd?
- Ctrl-Shift-Z is used to "clear the clipboard", according to the
list of "the newer cut-and-paste operations" I referred to. Is that
actually correct? In most other Acornland apps, Ctrl-Z deselects the
block without affecting the clipboard.
