So in what way is that different fron Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V in Edit?
It isn't. In StrongED, Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V do the "old style" direct copy/move
that Edit used to do.

I just can't get on with StrongEd. I type Ctrl-C and it duplicates the
block in situ or tells me no block is selected, then when I try to paste
it into NS I get some text I had saved some time before from another
document.
See above. You can re-map the keys so that Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V behave as Edit, but
the detail of how to do it is off-topic for this list.
Then I try Shift-Ctrl-C and -V, and I get the selected URL twice!
In NetSurf? Is that repeatable? What settings do you have on in the OS for
cut and paste in writable icons?
