Whether text is cut or copied depends on the current editing mode. Otherwise If only one marker is set, gnxt will take the other marker as being at the start of the text to be edited. Once two markers have been set, the text can be cut or copied to the buffer with the following keys. If there is text in the buffer, the text is pasted to the edit window. The act of pasting text also empties the buffer.
Many systems have screen savers.
On keyboards with downloadable keys, gnxt will dynamically alter the key bindings on the fly to reduce keyboard wear on frequently-used keys. For maximum flexibility, arguments can be passed to FTL programs in any form whatsoever, with the exact interpretation being left to the program. FTL places any return data in the cut buffer on exit. Like virtually all other software, gnxt has a number of undocumented commands. All options referred to in the text but never actually explained are undocumented commands.
