Greetings …  
I’m at a loss as to the mechanics of a straight up cut / copy / paste in Pinegrow .

Say , for instance , i stumble upon a snippet of code , or text contained in an outside source , and  
i want to import it into Pinegrow . I copy the information , and paste it into the clipboard . How do i get that  
information into Pinegrow ?..

Same question applies to information that may have been saved previously to a text document …

Regards ,  
Njorm …
