Copy and paste

Paste many lines and you get many lines, nested as they were, with their styles.

Copy lines out of Fennick and they keep their shape in other apps too.

Paste into Fennick

Many lines become many lines.
Indenting, with tabs or spaces, becomes nesting.
Markdown turns into kinds and styles:
- # headings, - bullets, 1. numbers, - [ ] to-dos, > quotes, ``` code, --- dividers;
- **bold**, *italic*, `code`, ~~strike~~, ==highlight== (yellow), [words](https://…) links.
Rich text from a web page, a document or an email keeps its headings, nested lists, bold, italic and links. A highlight comes in yellow, or in its colour when it is one of Fennick's.
Copies from Notion, Obsidian and Tana are read from their markdown.
Plain text with no sign of markdown comes in exactly as it is. File paths and code keep every letter.
Code copied from a code editor becomes one code line.
One ⌘Z takes the whole paste away.
A paste can hold up to 2,000 lines. It is saved all at once, however many lines it has. The Op Log still lists each line it added.

At the start of a line with words, the pasted lines go above it.
In the middle of a line, the words after the caret move to the end of the last pasted line.
On an empty line, the first pasted line sets its kind (a heading stays a heading).
In a code line, the text goes in as it is.
A web address pasted over selected words links them.

Press ⌘⇧V (Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows). The words come in plain, with no styles, into the line you are in.

Select whole lines (see Selecting lines) and press ⌘C. Fennick puts three forms on the clipboard, and each app takes the one it reads best:

Markdown, for Obsidian, Notion, Tana and plain-text apps. Nested lines are indented.
Rich text, for documents and email: headings, nested lists, bold, italic and links.
Fennick's own form, for pasting back into Fennick.

Words copied from inside one line keep their styles too.

A highlight copies as ==words== in markdown, which has no colours, and in its own colour in rich text and in Fennick's own form.

In the same notebook, a tagged thing comes back as itself. It is shown again, not copied.
Lines that belong to a page come back as copies.
Cut and paste moves. ⌘X then ⌘V moves the same lines, with the lines inside them, their history and their links. A cut thing is only taken off the page, never sent to the Trash.
From another notebook, everything comes as a copy of the words.

Coming: pictures and files in lines. For now, pasting a picture says “Pictures and files can’t go in lines yet.”
