The CUT, COPY, and PASTE options (located in the EDIT menu) provide a means of moving or copying user interface objects within an Zim application.
To use CUT or COPY, select one or more objects, pull down the EDIT menu, and choose the CUT or COPY option.
Cut or copied objects can be pasted back into the same form, display, or menu. You can also exit the Screen Painter, execute an object DEFINE command for a new user interface object, and then perform a PASTE into the new object. The previously cut or copied objects are pasted inside a frame. Because no two objects of the same type can have the same name in an application, the Screen Painter automatically generates unique object names where necessary. Once the objects have been pasted, you can move and edit them as normal.
For example, you can ensure that all form fields that handle the input of comments are identical. One method is to define the first such form fields, then to COPY and PASTE it back into the form as many times as needed.
