Basic Editing Actions
Cut
Select the way you want cut or cleared characters to be filled using the following options:
|
Fill cut area with spaces
|
Replaces the characters with an equal number of spaces.
|
|
Fill cut area with nulls
|
Replaces the characters with an equal number of nulls.
|
Copy
Specify the behavior of text and fields that you copy using the following options:
|
Automatically copy selected text
|
Copies selected text to the clipboard automatically.
|
|
Deselect after copy
|
Clears selection after it has been copied to the clipboard.
|
|
Retain selection
|
When you select an area of the screen, and then navigate to a new screen, the area remains selected. This allows you to copy from the same area on different screens without having to select the area again.
|
|
Copy trailing spaces
|
Copies the selected field, including any trailing spaces.
|
|
Copy input fields only
|
Copies only from areas on the screen where input is allowed. Characters in protected fields are replaced with spaces.
|
|
Use table format
|
If there are two or more spaces between words in a selection, the spaces are replaced with a single tab character when you copy the data. (Most spreadsheet and word processing applications interpret tab characters as cell separators.) If there is only one space between words, it remains a space when you copy the data, unless it is followed by a numerical character (0-9, +, or .).
Use Blanks between fields to increase the number of spaces that will be replaced with a tab character.
|
|
Blanks between fields
|
Specify the number of spaces between words that should be converted to a single tab character when Use table format is selected.
|
Paste
Specify the behavior of cut or copied text using the following options:
|
Wrap text to next input field
|
Causes text that would have been truncated at the end of a field (or the selected paste area) to be pasted to the next unprotected field instead of being truncated.
In most cases, if you enable this option, you should also enable Use field delimiters.
|
|
Use field delimiters
|
Maintains formatting for spreadsheet or other cell-based information.
|
|
Replace tabs with
|
Replaces any tab characters in the pasted data with the specified character or combination of characters.
|
|
Move cursor after paste
|
Causes the cursor to move to the end of the pasted text. When unselected, the cursor is restored to the position it was in before the text was pasted.
|
|
Mask protected fields
|
Specifies how pasted text is mapped onto the screen:
- If unselected (the default), the text is interpreted as a linear stream that can contain new lines and delimiters, and is pasted accordingly.
- If selected, the text is interpreted as a host screen image and overlaid onto the current screen starting at the current cursor position. Where the current screen contains an unprotected field, the source image text is pasted; where the current screen contains a protected field, the source image text is skipped.
