Copy, cut and paste functions

Copies of elements and folders can be made with the copy/paste function which can be applied in a number of ways:

        select the files to copy | right-click one of the selected files | Copy (Image Copy_16_n_p) | right-click the location to insert files into | Paste (Image Paste_16_n_p)

   or  select the files to copy | Ctrl + C (Image command_key_web + C on Mac) | select where to insert files | Ctrl + P (Image command_key_web + P on Mac)

   or  select the files to copy | Edit in the Menu Bar | Copy (Image Copy_16_n_p) | select where to insert files | Edit in the Menu Bar | Paste (Image Paste_16_n_p)

If there is already an element of that name, the pasted element will be renamed by appending a number at the end of the name.

Elements can also be moved instead of copied. This is done with the cut/paste function:

        select the files to cut | right-click one of the selected files | Cut (Image cut_16_h_p) | right-click the location to insert files into | Paste (Image Paste_16_n_p)

   or  select the files to cut | Ctrl + X (Image command_key_web + X on Mac) | select where to insert files | Ctrl + V (Image command_key_web + V on Mac)

When you have cut the element, it is "grayed out" until you activate the paste function. If you change your mind, you can revert the cut command by copying another element.

Note that if you move data between locations, the original data is kept. This means that you are essentially doing a copy instead of a move operation.
