Quick Transfer
Description
Quick transfer is used to make a temporary (or secondary) selection
and then immediately copy, move, or link that selection to the
insertion position of the destination component. Quick transfer is
implemented using
BTransfer
Motion,
with the standard modifiers used to force the various transfer
operations.
Text components must support quick transfer.
There are three quick transfer operations:
- Quick Copy
- If a component supports quick transfer,
BTransfer
Motion
or
BTransfer
Motion
must temporarily select elements in the specified range and, on
release, must copy them to the insertion position of the destination
component.
- Quick Cut
- If a component supports quick transfer,
BTransfer
Motion
must temporarily select elements in the specified range and, on
release, must move them to the insertion position of the destination
component.
- Quick Link
- If a component supports quick transfer,
BTransfer
Motion
must temporarily select elements in the specified range and, on
release, must place a link to them at the insertion position of the
destination component.
The range of the temporary selection must be determined by using
exactly the same model used when BSelect
Motion
determines the range of a primary selection.
