From there, the two developed the basic copy and paste function, now a standard feature in computing. [4] Tesler also established the idea that computer interfaces should be modeless, where all actions are available to a user at all times, rather than modal, requiring the user to enter a specific mode to perform them. Gypsy was programmed to ...

A pastebin or text storage site [1] [2] [3] is a type of online content-hosting service where users can store plain text (e.g. source code snippets for code review via Internet Relay Chat (IRC)).
