Selection commands

The current selection is a highlighted area of the text in the open file. When text is selected, many commands operate differently upon the selected text than they would ordinarily. These differences are documented in the individual command descriptions. The MULTI Editor supports two selections:

The Selection Commands can be used to create or cancel these two types of selections. Commands which don't explicitly mention the secondary selection operate on the primary selection only. With the exception of the SecondarySelectionReplace and SecondarySelectionReplaceClip commands, none of the commands in this section will modify the contents of the open file in any way.
