                    Cutting and copying areas of the pattern can make use of stitch and color masks and the exclusion of backstitches and knots
                    to limit the selection.

                    The paste operation in &kxstitch; allows you to press and hold the &LMB; down roughly in the position that
                    the paste data is to go which will provide an image of the paste data to allow accurate positioning before
                    releasing the mouse button to finalize the position.  This technique is also used for the mirroring and
                    rotate functions. The cursor keys can also be used to move the pasted pattern around and the &Enter; key
                    used to fix the position.

                            This allows the creation of pattern alphabets that can have a key assignment.  After selecting this tool
                            and clicking a position on the pattern for the insertion point, each key pressed will be searched for in
                            the current library for a matching pattern.  If found this will be inserted at the position on the pattern
                            and the insertion position then advanced by the width of the inserted character pattern.  The pattern
                            space will be extended right to allow further characters to be entered.  Pressing &Enter; will start a new
                            line under the position of the original insertion point, the pattern space will be extended downwards
                            to accommodate the new line if insufficient space is available.  &Backspace; will delete the last character entered
                            and the <keycap>Space</keycap> key will advance the insertion point by either the width of a space character in the library
                            or a predetermined amount if no space character exists. The text will wrap onto the next line if the edge of the
                            pattern is reached and the end of a word is detected.
