Edit -> Selection ->Copy From... how did it suppose to work?

I am getting one option of text taken from the top of the file, it actually pastes more then shows.

Hello Arthur,

Are you reading command description shown in status bar ?

It copy selections from another documents.
I have checked copying - it works correctly.

Best regards,
Alex.

I did not intend to complain, and you are right, I am not reading the status bar, the question was what logic drives this functionality, sorry if I am sounding not comprehensible.

This was one special request form guy moving form MultiEdit. There such functionality exist: some how another way of copy paste without using clipboard.

Arthur · « **Reply #4 on:** April 24, 2009, 03:26:17 pm »

Still unclear how it determines what text it decides to select. Sorry.

It takes current slelection in document.

Then it is not working correctly, in my case it took a few first rows from a second file (me being on the last out of 5 in total).

Are you talking about what is show in the menu, or about what is pasted?
I have rechecked once more: what was selected - was pasted.

Please provide here example:

First document: text + what is selected
Second document: text + what is selected

And what is a result of paste in first document.

I now can see what is the logic:
I can select text in as many files open in HE as I want and be in any file.
Then when I use this functionality I am presented with choice of several text selections [taken from each these files] to paste, which is cool, but that was not immediately obvious.

Sorry for this

When the guy I told, ask about this, it took me also some time to get what he wants

Best regards,
Alex.

This is a favorite feature of mine -- especially when working with locked selections or many open documents.

Hello allen,

yes, the locked selection request comes from same person who requested Copy From...

Best regards,
Alex
