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.
