Cutting, copying, and pasting text in the Manual Tester Text Editor is the same as in other text editors.
When you cut or copy all or part of a statement, Manual Tester acts as other text editors do. Press Ctrl+X to cut a statement and Ctrl+V to paste it. Press Ctrl+C to copy a statement and Ctrl+V to paste it.
You can paste a cut statement once; you can paste a copied statement multiple times.
If you want to create a reusable statement using copy and paste, press Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+R to paste a reference copy. When you paste the statement, Manual Tester displays a message asking if you want to add the pasted item to your list of reusable statements. Click Yes to save the statement for reuse. Manual Tester adds the statement to the Reuse view. If you click No, Manual Tester pastes the referenced statement, but does not add it to the Reuse view. You can disable this prompt in the Main Preferences page of the Preferences dialog box. See Setting Manual Tester Preferences for more information.
When you copy a statement and paste it as a referenced statement in a different location in the same file, Manual Tester does not include the statement in a gray box. When you edit a referenced statement in a file, Manual Tester automatically updates all the copies of the statement in the file. When you copy a statement to a different file, Manual Tester includes the statement in a gray box. When you edit the original source of the statement, Manual Tester updates all instances of the statement.
