    Abstract: Embodiments automate several aspects of document copy-paste updates. An enhanced editor submits context, such as a copied section, pasted section, nearby text, or parser information, to an automatic suggestion generator. The editor gets back a suggestion for automatically changing the pasted section, thus helping users avoid tedium and errors. For instance, string substitutions begun by the user can be automatically and easily completed within the pasted section. Refactoring between variable declarations and parameter lists is detected and completed on request. Situation-specific transforms based on code synthesis, word associations, temporal edit patterns, anchor target lists, regular expressions, or autocompletion are offered. Suggestions are given inside the user's current workflow to avoid breaks in focus. Suggestions can be refined automatically in response to implicit or explicit user feedback. Users are warned of unedited pasted sections. Code review is aided by highlighting pasted sections.
