The Cut command under Edit removes the selected text from your file and places it in the clipboard. Once text is in the clipboard, the Paste command will copy it to the insert position in the current window. For example, to move some text from one place to another, select it by dragging the mouse over it, choose Cut to remove it, click the pointer to move the insert point where you want the text inserted, then choose Paste to insert it. Copy copies text to the clipboard without deleting it from your file. The Search menu has a number of commands for finding and replacing text.
Searches begin at the current text insertion position.
Find Same and Replace Same repeat the last find or replace command without prompting for search strings. Find Same , then Replace Same , if the highlighted string should be replaced, or Find Same again to go to the next string. Find Selection searches for the text contained in the current primary selection. The selected text does not have to be in the current editor window, it may even be in another program. The way NEdit checks the spelling in a document is to run the Unix shell command spell on the file.
