Removing/Copying/Pasting a Column

When a whole column is selected, it's possible to delete it, copy (or to cut) it and to paste it before or after another column.

To select a column:

  1. Use the Select column entry in the Table sub-menu (Ctrl t Ctrl c).
  2. You can also start the selection in a cell and extend to another cell in the same column (by example starts in Cell 1.2 and ends in Cell 3.2). Amaya changes to the column selection mode. Hitting the F2 key extends the selection into the column between and including the two whole cells (Cell 1.2, Cell 2.2, Cell 3.2).
Cell 1.1 Cell 1.2 Cell 1.3
Cell 2.1 Cell 2.2 Cell 2.3
Cell 3.1 Cell 3.2 Cell 3.3

When a whole column is selected, it's possible to copy (or to cut) it and to paste it before or after another column.

  1. To paste a column before an existing column, click at the beginning of a cell in the existing column and paste the copied or cut column or use the Paste before entry in the Table sub-menu (Ctrl t Ctrl p).
  2. To paste a column after an existing column, move the cursor to the end of a cell in the existing column and paste the copied or cut column or use the Paste after entry in the Table sub-menu (Ctrl t Ctrl v).
