Clipboards

UltraEdit provides up to nine user clipboards for use with the CutCopy and Paste commands as well as the standard Windows Clipboard.  The active clipboard may be changed from the Edit Menu, or the Right Click context menu.  Additionally, Ctrl+1-9 will switch to the user clipboards and Ctrl+0 will switch to the Windows clipboard.
When changing the active clipboard the contents of the clipboards are not modified.  With the exception of the standard Windows Clipboard the contents of the clipboards are destroyed when UltraEdit is closed.
The active clipboard is shown in the Status Bar following the Line and Column indicator separated with a comma. 
Shortcut: CTRL+0-9
