The Cut command transfers the current selection (object entry, string) to the clipboard. The selection is removed from the editor or object tree. In tree structures which are used to organize objects, as for example in the Applications tree, this applies to the selected object. Multiple selection is possible.
Remember that not all editors support the Cut command, and that its use can be limited in some editors.
The form of the selection depends upon the respective editor: For example, it is a string or character in text editors or can be one or several elements surrounded by a selection frame in graphic editors.
In order to paste the content of the clipboard, use the Paste command.
In order to copy a selection onto the clipboard without deleting it, use the Copy command.
In order to remove a selected area without changing the clipboard, use the Delete command.

For the Copy command the same is true as for the Cut command, with exception that copy does not remove the current selection from the current position.

The Paste command pastes the content of the clipboard onto the current position in the editor view.
Pasting is not supported by all editors or its use can be limited. In graphic editors, the command is only supported if a correct structure will result from the insertion.
In tree structures which are used to organize objects, as for example in the Applications tree, the command applies to the selected object. Multiple selection is possible.
