The input windows don't show a cursor, so selections must be made
|
|
|
with the mouse by clicking with the left mouse button at the start, holding
|
|
|
down the mousebutton and moving to the end, where you release the mouse
|
|
|
button again. You can also select a word by double clicking it. In the merge
|
|
|
output editor you can also select via the keyboard by holding the "shift"-button
|
|
|
and navigation with the cursor keys.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
If the selection exceeds the visible range you can move the mouse over the
|
|
|
window borders which causes <span class="application">KDiff3</span> to scroll in that direction.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
For very large selections you can also use the navigation keys while holding down
|
|
|
the mouse. E.g. use page up and page down to quickly go to a certain position. At the
|
|
|
end position release the mouse button.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
In order to select everything in the current window use menu "Edit"->"Select All" (Ctrl-A).
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
To copy to the clipboard you must press the "Copy"-button (Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Insert).
|
|
|
But there exists an option "Auto Copy Selection". If this is enabled,
|
|
|
then whatever you select is copied immediately and you don't need to explicitely
|
|
|
copy. But pay attention when using this because the contents of the clipboard
|
|
|
might then be destroyed accidentally.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
"Cut" (Ctrl-X or Shift-Delete) copies to the clipboard and deletes the
|
|
|
selected text.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
"Paste" (Ctrl-V or Shift-Insert) inserts the text in the clipboard at the
|
|
|
cursorposition or over the current selection.
|
|
|
If you paste to either diff input window the contents of the clipboard will
|
|
|
be shown in that window and the comparison will restart immediately. This is
|
|
|
useful if you want to quickly grab a piece of text from somewhere and
|
|
|
compare it with something else without first creating files.
