Greetings, I'm running SciTE 1.66 (built from source) on Linux/GTK+. A
few queries:
1) It seems that selecting and then dragging text (with left button)
*copies* rather than moves the selected text. This seems odd... other
GTK+ apps (gedit, for instance) will move text if dragged; to drag/copy
one holds down the Ctrl key while dragging. I have not found a way to
move text by dragging.
2) Simply selecting in SciTE seems to allow middle-button pasting
*within* SciTE, but not externally (eg. to an xterm); again, this is not
the case for gedit. There seems (also) to be an inscrutable relationship
between copying by simple selection vs. copying by Edit/Copy. I suspect
this is probably a GTK+ issue rather than SciTE-specific, but could some
kind soul clarify for me how copy/paste works under GTK+ ?
3) I tend to use SciTE with check.if.already.open=1, but sometimes open
other instances by running SciTE -check.if.already.open=0. The
documentation says if check.if.already.open=1 then an "arbitrary
instance" of SciTE is activated when SciTE is invoked from the command
line. How arbitrary is arbitrary...? It would be nice if, say, the last
focused instance were activated, but this seems not to be the case. This
becomes an issue particularly when one works (as I do) on multiple
workspaces.
Regards,
