How to make the pasted text selected?

Postby foolmuff » Mon Nov 20, 2006 2:53 am

After I have pasted some texts, sometimes I want replace some words.
It will be clear if the pasted text is auto-selected?
Is this possible in UE?

No, there is no option to automatically select the pasted text. But you can create an auto-loaded macro with a hot key for fast usage which contains only 1 line:

Find Up "^c"

This will work for a pasted text with a maximum of 30.000 bytes.

Thank you. It works

However, what does "^c" mean?

If you have open the Find dialog, press the Help button and read! ^c = content of active clipboard.
