[edit] Kopipe
"Kopipe" (a Japanese rendering of "copy-paste") redirects here, with no mention on the page. What is it supposed to mean in English-speaking communities? 86.131.92.101 18:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Origin
Does anyone know where this idea came from? HereToHelp 11:44, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- Some say Douglas Engelbart's oNLine System (NLS) was the first one, presented to the public in 1968. [1] Others pin the claim to the Gypsy word processor by Xerox Alto in 1975. Finally, some think it originated in Apple Lisa, but that is clearly a misconception. I don't have Real installed right now, could you review the NLS video on the linked page and see if it matches the current notion of cut and paste? Aapo Laitinen 12:21, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Style
Is it "cut and paste" or "cut-and-paste?"
[edit] Suggested merge
[edit] Oppose
I oppose the merge of 'Cut and Paste' (^x, ^v) with 'Copy and Paste' (^c, ^v) on the ground that 'Cut and Paste' (^x, ^v) clearly came first. After this usage was established, then 'Copy and Paste' (^c, ^v) made sense and entered common usage. --Ancheta Wis 10:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Favor
I favor merger because:
- The Copy and paste article is a stub.
- The physical practices were both done long before computers, and long after as well. What difference does the date of automation make?

[edit] Survey
- Add * '''Support''' or * '''Oppose''' on a new line followed by a brief explanation, then sign your opinion using ~~~~.
- Oppose - they're different things - cut and paste is the physcial paper version and "ctrl X ctrl V" in MSWindows terms, the other is "ctrl C ctrl V". Rich Farmbrough, 14:09 24 November 2006 (GMT).
- Oppose, per Rich (very succinct). --SigPig \SEND - OVER 05:26, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
- In the end I've changed the article name to "Cut, copy and paste" because the article speaks of all three things. --Sharcho 18:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
