clipboard internal option #1910

I am looking for the "clipboard internal" option

As a relative newbie to MICRO EDITOR I just installed an hour ago on a Rasperry Pi 4 with Raspbian (in an SSH session) - if I hit control-e I get commands as before but then hitting "clipboard" or "clipboard internal" (without the quotes) produces "unknown command clipboard"

Did you mean set clipboard?

I didn't but I JUST tried that now, thanks – I copied some text from my PC – PASTED into the editor – it WORKS – but copying from the PC then trying to paste into the editor doesn't. It pastes whatever was last copied out of the editor back into the editor.

Once you set the clipboard option to internal, copy-paste will only be supported within micro. You may be able to paste into micro from outside using your terminal's paste key, but micro's copy-paste will only work internally. You will probably need to use the internal clipboard option over ssh because since micro is running on a remote machine it cannot access your local clipboard. See > help copypaste for details.
