Cut, copy, paste & masks

Clipboard#

⋯ ▸ Edit:

CommandResult
CutCopy the selection and clear it from the layer.
CopyCopy the selection from the active layer.
Copy MergedCopy the selection from the composited image (all visible layers).
PastePaste the clipboard onto the current canvas as a floating selection — drag it to position, then commit.

Paste behaviour:

  • **Copy*then paste drops the pixels offset slightly down-right, so the source stays visible.
  • **Cut*then paste drops them back into the hole they came from.
  • If the pasted pixels land entirely off-canvas you'll get a warning.
  • The clipboard works **across sprites and tabs*— copy in one, paste in another. When a clipboard is available a persistent **Paste*button appears at the top of the tool rail.

Fill & Clear (selection)#

  • **Edit ▸ Fill*— flood the whole selection with the foreground colour.
  • **Edit ▸ Clear*— erase the selection to transparency.

Selection masks#

A selection can be saved as a file and reloaded — handy for a mask you reuse across frames or documents.

  • **Select ▸ Save Mask…*— writes a .json bitmap of the current selection.
  • **Select ▸ Load Mask…*— loads one back. If the canvas is a different size, the mask is fitted (aligned to the top-left).

Duplicate a selection#

Tool rail ▸ Fill section ▸ Duplicate Selection copies the selected pixels and pastes them as a new floating selection in one step — useful for stamping repeated elements.
