Cut/Copy/Delete/Paste
Cut and copy operations on selections involving the Clipboard work just as in
other Windows programs.
• To copy pixels in the selected region, press Ctrl+C or click the
Copy button on the Standard toolbar. (You can also choose Copy
from the Edit menu.)
• To cut the selected pixels, press Ctrl+X or choose Cut from the Edit
menu.
• To delete the selected pixels, press the Delete key or choose Clear
from the Edit menu.
Cut or deleted pixels expose the current background colour (on the
Background layer) or transparency (on standard layers). If you want
to create transparency on the Background layer, first "promote" it to
a standard layer by right-clicking its name on the Layers tab and
choosing Promote to Layer.
• If nothing is selected, a cut or copy operation affects the whole active
layer, as if Select All were in effect.
