copy

Copies items into the clipboard.

The system may execute a copy (in response to other method calls) without calling this method. To extend or re-implement copying, override the do-copy in text% or do-copy in pasteboard% method of an editor.

• (send a-text copy extend? time start end) -> void
      extend? : boolean
      time : exact integer
      start : exact non-negative integer or 'start
      end = 'end : exact non-negative integer or 'end

  Copies specified range of text into the clipboard. If extend? is not #f, the old clipboard contents are appended. If start is 'start or end is 'end, then the current selection start/end is used.

  See Cut and Paste for a discussion of the time argument. If time is outside the platform-specific range of times, an exn:application:mismatch exception is raised.

  
  

• (send a-text copy extend? time) -> void
      extend? = #f : boolean
      time = 0 : exact integer

  Copies the selected items into the clipboard. If extend? is not #f, the old clipboard contents are appended.

  See Cut and Paste for a discussion of the time argument. If time is outside the platform-specific range of times, an exn:application:mismatch exception is raised.
