Cut/Copy tab

You can set your preferences to support the Cut/Copy functions. These functions work similarly to the Cut/Copy functions in Personal Communications.

Cut/Copy only if a trim-rectangle is marked: Disables the Edit > Copy, Edit > Copy Append, Edit > Copy as Table, Edit > Field-bsaed copy and Edit > Cut functions until you draw a trim-rectangle or until you use the keyboard to select a block of text. In other words, if you check this box, you must draw a trim-rectangle in order to use the cut or copy functions.

If you leave the checkbox unchecked, the Edit > Copy, Edit > Copy Append, Edit > Copy as Table, Edit > Field-based Copy and Edit > Cut functions cut or copy the entire screen if no trim-rectangle is drawn, or the contents of a trim-rectangle, if one is drawn.

Important:
The following JVM environments do not set the clipboard correctly and may produce copy and paste results that are not accurate:

Copy SO/SI as space: Check this box if you need to copy shift-out (SO) and shift-in (SI) control character to space.
Note:If you check this box, the space that bracket DBCS string will be truncated when you paste mixed text into HOD.
For example, paste the following mixed data into Host On-Demand:
ssss(space)D1D2D(space)ssss
If you leave the checkbox unchecked, you will get following result:
ssss(space)(SO)D1D2D(SI)(space)ssss
If you check the checkbox, you will get following result:
ssss(SO)D1D2D(SI)ssss
