The input windows don't show a cursor, so selections must be made
with the mouse by clicking with the left mouse button at the start, holding
down the mousebutton and moving to the end, where you release the mouse
button again. You can also select a word by double clicking it. In the merge
output editor you can also select via the keyboard by holding the "shift"-button
and navigation with the cursor keys.
</p><p>
If the selection exceeds the visible range you can move the mouse over the
window borders which causes <span class="application">KDiff3</span> to scroll in that direction.
</p><p>
For very large selections you can also use the navigation keys while holding down
the mouse. E.g. use page up and page down to quickly go to a certain position. At the
end position release the mouse button.
</p><p>
In order to select everything in the current window use menu "Edit"->"Select All" (Ctrl-A).
</p><p>
To copy to the clipboard you must press the "Copy"-button (Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Insert).
But there exists an option "Auto Copy Selection". If this is enabled,
then whatever you select is copied immediately and you don't need to explicitely
copy. But pay attention when using this because the contents of the clipboard
might then be destroyed accidentally.
</p><p>
"Cut" (Ctrl-X or Shift-Delete) copies to the clipboard and deletes the
selected text.
</p><p>
"Paste" (Ctrl-V or Shift-Insert) inserts the text in the clipboard at the
cursorposition or over the current selection.
If you paste to either diff input window the contents of the clipboard will
be shown in that window and the comparison will restart immediately. This is
useful if you want to quickly grab a piece of text from somewhere and
compare it with something else without first creating files.
