RESTORE SELECTION
Restores (undeletes) what you last erased with pending delete or with
DECwindows Quick Copy.
Steps:
1. Put the cursor where you want to insert what you erased.
2. Use the RESTORE SELECTION command.
Usage notes:
o By default, RESTORE SELECTION inserts what you erased, pushing existing
text to the right or down. SET BOX SELECT makes RESTORE SELECTION the
same as RESTORE BOX SELECTION, usually overwriting existing text---see
help on Ranges And Boxes.
o RESTORE SELECTION does not rewrap text. Depending on where and how much
you restore, your text may go past the right margin or even out of
view. To reformat your text, use FILL commands.
o If you enable pending delete---and particularly if you save the setting
in your section file or command file---you may want to define
GOLD-DELETE or some other key as RESTORE SELECTION to make it easier to
put back the erased text.
o Pending delete uses the $RESTORE$SELECTION$ buffer. Thus, you can use
pending delete and RESTORE SELECTION for cutting and pasting text
without affecting the contents of the INSERT HERE buffer or the
clipboard.
o Quick Copy is implemented with the CTRL/SHIFT/M2DRAG or
ALT/SHIFT/M2DRAG.
