pasting multiple lines after cutting

[465788227]

When pasting, we get as many lines as we have cut before by ctrl-x.
But how can i paste just one last line?

I think what you're describing is an issue that's been bothering me for the longest time as well, but I never opened an issue about it.

In the nano editor, which I remember micro was inspired by, the cut buffer is cleared when you move the cursor and cut again, so if you cut 5 lines in a row and then paste them, you get all 5, but if you cut 1 line, move, cut another, then paste, you only get the second one. This is the behavior I think both you and I want.

I looked briefly at the source code for this a little bit a long time ago. Apparently, micro has some more complex rules for deciding when to clear the cut buffer, that I still don't completely understand.

Hi

I think this is addressed in #3221

Experimenting CTRL+X overwrites the clipboard.
But CutLine appends the line to the clipboard.

If you want to replace the clipboard with the current line try binding CTRL+K like this:

    "Ctrlk": "SelectLine,Copy,Delete",
