Cutting Text

Use the Edit menu Cut command to logically delete a selected portion of a method in the current editor pane. This command is disabled when there is no selected text to be cut.

Select the portion of the method that you want to delete. The selected portion of the method is then highlighted.

You can physically delete whole methods only by using the Remove command from the Methods menu. (For details, see "Removing a Schema Element", in Chapter 3.)

To cut the selected portion of a method, perform one of the following actions

• Select the Cut command from the Edit menu

• Press Ctrl+X

• Click the Cut icon in the Browser toolbar

The selected portion of text is then removed from the current method.

When you use the Cut command, the selected portion of the method is copied to the clipboard. The clipboard is not saved between JADE sessions.
