nano: The Cutbuffer
4.3 The Cutbuffer
=================
Text can be cut from a file, a whole line at a time, by using the ’Cut
Text’ command (default key binding: ‘^K’). The cut line is stored in
the cutbuffer. Consecutive strokes of ‘^K’ will add each cut line to
this buffer, but a ‘^K’ after any other keystroke will overwrite the
entire cutbuffer.
The contents of the cutbuffer can be pasted back into the file with
the ’Uncut Text’ command (default key binding: ‘^U’).
A line of text can be copied into the cutbuffer (without cutting it)
with the ’Copy Text’ command (default key binding: ‘M-6’).
