Auto-select upon Copy with empty selection:

The Auto-select upon Copy with empty selection allows to automatically select nearby text, if Copy or Cut is invoked while nothing is selected. The amount of text automatically selected can be one of the following:

Copy with mouse

The Auto-copy when selecting with mouse automatically invokes Copy into system Clipboard when the mouse button is released after selecting text.

Note: This automated Copy thru mouse may Copy several times upon multi-click mouse selecting. This is because multi-clicking involves multiple mouse button releases. And each such mouse button release is registered as selection change and must invoke Copy (just in case there comes no further mouse action).

The Only when Ctrl is pressed while selecting invokes Copy upon mouse selecting only when Ctrl is pressed while selecting. On the other hand, if this option is turned off, the Ctrl key is checked upon mouse selecting anyway, and instead prevents Copy when pressed. In other words, the value of Only when Ctrl is pressed while selecting determines, whether automated Copy thru mouse selecting is to be used with or without Ctrl key.

Note: The Ctrl key is checked only upon mouse button release, therefore, it only needs to be pressed (or not pressed) upon releasing the mouse button after selecting. This is, however, misleading upon multi-clicking, since when multi-clicking, multiple mouse button releases occur, which can trigger Copy as well.

Paste with mouse upon:

The Paste with mouse upon allows to Paste text from system Clipboard by simple mouse Right-click.

By default, mouse Right-click displays small Right-click context menu, similar to the one known from other Windows applications. Using Ctrl+Right-click on the other hand allows to Paste text from system Clipboard conveniently thru mouse. Option Paste with mouse upon alters this behaviour by switching the meaning of the Ctrl upon Right-click:

Enhanced

The Mimic original case upon Paste enables to mimic case upon replacing selection with Paste from system Clipboard. Upon Paste, is there is non-empty selection being replaced, text of the selection is scanned and character case of text from the system Clipboard is converted just before replacing the selection.

Note: The character case conversion within text from the system Clipboard does not modify the system Clipboard content. The conversion is applied onto the text while replacing the selection, after retreiving it from the system Clipboard.

See Paste for further details.
