Cut/Copy/Paste

HOD Hex Client allows users to select different options that are available to edit functions (cut/copy/paste).

  1. Cut/Copy Tab:

    Cut/Copy only if a trim rectangle is marked

    • If this checkbox is selected, the user must draw a trim rectangle in order to use the cut or copy function.
    • If this checkbox is cleared, the user can do one of the following:
      • If no trim rectangle is drawn, the user can cut or copy the entire screen.
      • If a trim rectangle is drawn, the user can cut or copy the contents of that trim rectangle.

    Trim Rectangle remains after edit function

    • If this checkbox is selected, the trim rectangle remains on the screen after the completion of cut/copy function.
    • If the checkbox is cleared, the trim rectangle disappears when the cut/copy function is completed.

    Copy As TableGroup

    This function can be used in 3270 and 5250 field-formatted display sessions. It allows you to copy fields from the screen in a tabular form.

    • Copy As Fields

    This function can be used in 3270 and 5250 field-formatted display sessions. The user can copy fields from the screen in a tabular form. Data inside every new field that is copied, is considered as a separate column in the table. By default, the Copy as Fields function is disabled. This menu option acts as a toggle switch. When it is enabled or disabled, the option is applicable only to the current session.

    - Protected fields

    (To copy data from the protected or non-editable fields.)

    - Unprotected fields

    (To copy data from the unprotected or editable fields.)

    - Trim spaces in fields

    (To trim leading and trailing spaces in the data field contents that were copied.)

  2. Paste Tab:

    Paste option is enabled if the user copies text from the emulator session.

    Field Wrap: Allows the data that falls in a protected field is pushed to the next nearest unprotected field. The Field Wrap function does not break words in the middle, except when the first word encounters a protected field.

    Line Wrap: Enables recognition of end-of-line and end-of-screen indicators and continues to paste your data.

    Paste to marked area: Determines if you use a trim rectangle to designate exactly where to paste your data.

    Stop pasting when protected field encountered: Allows your data to be pasted until a protected field is encountered unless Field Wrap, Line Wrap, or Paste to marked area is enabled.

    Tab character processing: These paste preferences indicate how tab characters must be processed while pasting.

    1. Advance to next tab stop: Enables you to align tabulated text at specified tab stops.
    2. Replace with: Allows you to replace tab stops with a specified number of spaces.
    3. Paste data to fields: Determines whether your tabulated text is placed in subsequent unprotected fields. When a tab character is encountered, the succeeding text data is pasted into the next unprotected field on the same line of the emulator session.
