I was a bit surprised earlier when I tried to delete a block of marked text and only one character was deleted at a time. I then found "zap" in the docs and that Alt-Delete does the job.Just wondering what the logic is behind this? To my mind, if text has been marked, you're either going to cut, copy, or delete it. Is it a Pico compatibility matter?
Correct. For ages, Delete just deleted one character at a time -- it wouldn't be a good idea to change that. That's why Alt+Delete was added, but also --zap and 'set zap', to make a plain Delete or Backspace delete the marked region. Benno
