Blocks of text can also be copied/moved to the Windows clipboard and inserted from the clipboard. It is similar to vEdit's scratchpad. Although the clipboard is the only method for “cut and paste” with most other programs, we highly suggest using vEdit's scratchpad and other text registers for all “cut and paste” operations within vEdit.
The clipboard should only be used for exchanging text with other Windows programs. The clipboard does not handle columnar blocks as well as the text registers, and does not support binary data.
You can cut or copy the currently-marked (highlighted) block to the clipboard, or paste the clipboard into the file being edited. You can paste the clipboard as either a “stream” or “columnar” block. Selecting “Paste clipboard” inserts the entire clipboard at the cursor position. Selecting “Paste columnar clipboard” inserts each line of the clipboard into successive lines of your file, each time starting at the current column.
