Hi Steven, great to hear you want to contribute to Okular. I suggest you the method I use for locating the relevant areas of code for a particular feature/bug: - Install ripgrep - From the top level okular folder run `rg RELEVANT_SEARCH_TERM`, for example `rg TableSel` given that you are looking for something related to table selection or `rg Table` (a bit vague though). - This leads us to ui/pageview.cpp (the file where we have more matches in this case) - Open the file and search for 'TableSel' and have a look at the code in those areas to figure out what it does - At this point try to search for something relevant in those areas, for example 'clipboard' or 'copy' - At line 2866 there is the instruction `QClipboard *cb = QApplication::clipboard();` inside a switch case `Okular::Settings::EnumMouseMode::TableSelect` inside a method `PageView::mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent *e)`. This seems the relevant area. - Now put a breakpoint somewhere here and run the code, try to reproduce the bug and see if it does indeed happen here
I hope this helps. If other developers have better methods to locate relevant areas of code, please share it. Note: You can achieve the same without ripgrep and using `grep -Ir RELEVANT_SEARCH_TERM`, it's just slower. On Sat, Dec 5, 2020 at 10:42 PM stevengkc714 <stevengkc...@protonmail.com> wrote: > Hello.
