About the NEO Clipboard
NEO has a built-in clipboard, like most computers. Whenever you cut or copy
text, it is placed in the clipboard. When you use the paste command, you
paste the text from the clipboard into a file (either the same file or a new file).
The clipboard can store one block of text at a time.

By pressing one of the file keys, you can switch between your active files
quickly without losing any text in the other files. If the file you choose is

If you want to start a new file, but you want to keep the file that was in that
space (file 3, for example), you can name the file and close it. You can open
named files later when you’re ready to work on them again.
