2. Open the command menu (S3) and select menu item Edit > Copy.
3. The selected file(s), folder(s), or highlighted elements are prepared for copying. A message will confirm
this for you.
4. In the file list, move to the desired location where you wish to paste.
5. If a file is pasted into the original location, the file(s) in question will be duplicated and file name(s)
changed to include "Copy of" at the beginning of the file name.
The shortcut command c+B8B9 will activate the Copy command directly.
12.2.3 Paste
This command is similar to the "Paste" command in the Word Processor. One or more selected files or folders can
be pasted to another location. Using this command assumes you have already cut or copied files or folders, as
explained in the preceding sections. Note that pasting of large numbers of files or folders may take some time.
The first cell on the braille display will flash to indicate VarioUltra is busy. Please do not attempt to switch off or
otherwise interrupt VarioUltra during this process. When pasting is completed, a message will appear on the
braille letting you know.
Here are the step-by-step instructions for using the Paste command for a file or folder.
1. In the file list, move to the folder where you wish to paste the cut or copied files or folders currently on the
clipboard.
2. Open the command menu (S3) and select menu item Edit > Paste.
3. The selected file(s), folder(s), or highlighted elements are pasted to this location for you.
The shortcut command v+B8B9 will activate the Paste command directly.
12.2.4 Highlighting
Highlighting allows multiple files or folders to be displayed as "selected". This group of highlighted elements
behaves like a single selected file and can be deleted, cut, copied or pasted as one. When browsing the file and
folder list, highlighted elements are shown with an additional dot 8.
There are several ways to highlight files and folders:
1. Move up and down the file list and highlight the desired files or folders by tapping B0; tapping B0 a second
time removes the highlighting.
2. To highlight all files on a particular level, e.g. the entire contents of a folder, go into the relevant folder and
use the shortcut B9+B1B2B3B4B5B6.
a. Another option is to enter the Command Menu with a quick tap of S3, and select Edit > Highlight
All.
3. In the event that you wish to highlight the majority of files in a folder, it may be quicker to highlight those
files don't want and then use the Invert Highlighting feature. Here is how to do this.
a. In the file list, go only to those files that are not to be highlighted, but highlight them anyway by
tapping the right thumb key B0 for each file.
b. Next, use the shortcut command i+B8B9 and the previously highlighted files will become un-
highlighted, and the previously un-highlighted files will become highlighted.
c. As always, you can choose instead to go to the Command Menu with a tap of the system key S3
and select Edit > invert highlighting.
12.2.5 Find
The find function allows you to search for files or folders within the file and folders list.
If you do not know the exact name of the file or folder you wish to find, try searching for a partial string of
characters instead. You can also use the asterisk (*) to replace several unknown characters, or the question mark
(?) to replace one unknown character in your search string. If the search is successful, any found files or folders
will be presented to you in a vertical list for you to select from.
Here are the step-by-step instructions to find files or folders:
1. Open the command menu (S3) and select menu item Edit > Find.
2. A dialog opens where you can enter the path and the name of the file or folder you wish to find.
3. The "path" edit box presents the save location, in which the file or folder will be searched for, i.e.
"\Flashdisk\Edit". You can enter or edit the shown path, but take care to separate folders and subfolders
