[newbie] Copy paste
Hi Anyone having problems with copying and pasting using the middle button with KDE and Mozilla 1.6/1.7 ? Works fine with the other apps but with Mozilla i have to select the text, right click and then select copy, klipper does not catch it when i just highlight the text with the mouse. Weird thing is when i shut down Mozilla copying and pasting works for a while then stops again. -- Marek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Copy Paste
if you are using vim then you can make use of the middle button to paste highlighted text into vi. now if you want to do it the old-fashioned way (pure keyboard) then here are some tips... - vi makes use of buffers (specifically the unnamed-buffer) to store deleted and copied text. think of it as the clipboard. - everytime you delete an entry using x, d, or dd, the entry in the unnamed-buffer is overwritten. - to copy text the command is y (short for yank). like any ordinary vi command, you can precede it with a marker or a number to amplify its effect (10y to yank 10 characters, 10wy to yank 10 words). to copy whole lines, use the yy command. precede it with a number to denote the number of lines to be yanked (the direction is usually downwards but my memory is rusty and i cant remeber how to yank lines of text upward. ;-) - to paste the contents of the unnamed-buffer, press p to paste it after the cursor (or line? i cant remember correctly as i am in windows right now) and P to paste it before. - delete/yank is more powerful when used with markers. that is another topic and i still have work to do. ;-) NOTE: it is understood that before executing the command shortcuts that you are out of the editing-mode. press the escape key twice to make sure. ;-) ciao!

If you are in insert mode, you can highlight a block of text, then click your middle mouse button to paste at cursor location. Another way is with yank and put. For example, you can copy 3 lines beginning with the line where the cursor is with the command 3yy. Then move to where you wish to paste it and type p. For cutting instead of copying, use delete and put. For example, you can delete 3 lines beginning with the line where the cursor is with the command 3dd.

The info copied does appear in the clipboard, but will not Paste. This is true of apps like Evolution and Sylpheed. You are probably trying to paste between KDE, Gnome and other X apps, which can be a real pain in the ass, because they don't generally use the same paste buffer (They could if they really wanted to...). No, within the same applications, in this case Evolution or Sylpheed. In their defense, they're both in early development, BUT... BUT, 95% of the time, what you want to paste is just plain text. So try this: select the text to be pasted with the mouse. Don't hit CTL-C. Move the focus to (click with the mouse in) another window, but be careful not to move the mouse with the button down and create a selection in the new window. Hit the mouse *middle* button to paste the text in. If you have a 2-button mouse, hit left and right button simultaneously. In a standard installation you can even paste to and from terminals like this. ...THIS WORKS! Thanks for the tip. It takes about 5 minutes to get used to this, after which there will be much slapping of foreheads and exclaiming But this is so much easier than windows! I find cutting and pasting in windows intolerably clumsy now. For example, If I click on a URL in Kmail, it automagically opens it in Konqueror, which is fine. But if I want to open it in Mozilla, I select the address in Kmail, FIRE up Mozilla and middleclick the address into the Mozilla's address edit box. Try it.

For example if I copy the address to send mail to on this list and want to paste it into netscape address book how do I accomplish this. The right click doesn't bring up any options on this screen. I believe the key to paste is ctrl-v but no luck. Someone told me to double click both mouse buttons, but again nothing. I have the same problem on any text entries into web pages. I had to copy a file contents for tech support and send this info to him at Redhat support via a web page. I had to do it in windows as it turned out because no paste options would seem to work on any linux web browser. Any ideas here? I rarely use Gnome but are the functions of clipboard better supported there? Next question is my MD 8.0 seems to work fine on my other machine with the exception of the video goes wacky every time it's been in screen saver mode for any length of time. If I touch the mouse or keyboard ending the screen saver function the video is fine again. It almost appears as if the video loses it's proper resolution. I noted that after a fresh reboot screen saver would work for a short while but soon it was back to being messed up. Should I try a different generic monitor or different resolution? Or is there a file that has messed up that needs work here? I'm not sure where to start other then was thinking about reinstalling since I've not done much to it since the previous install. Thanks in advance Tazmun Copy text to the clipboard by holding down the left mouse button and dragging it over the text you wish to copy. Then go to where you wish to paste and single click the center mouse button/wheel. Also by clicking on the Klipper icon (bottom right, next to clock) you can select from the clipboard history/cache. Hope this helps, Robin

I believe the key to paste is ctrl-v but no luck. This is one thing about KDE that bugs me. Copying and pasting is not consistent from application to application. KDE has its own central clipboard, but not every program uses it. Netscape/Mozilla use their own clipboard. K programs also tend to count highlighting text as copying it. So what I often do is highlight text I want to copy and hit ctrl+C. Then I highlight the text I want to be replaced, and this in turn sticks this new text into the clipboard, so hitting ctrl+V to paste it does nothing. Frustrating doesn't even begin to describe it :) So, unfortunately, cutting and pasting in K is shoddy at best. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future release. I also hope someone comes up with a terminal emulator that supports copying and pasting. Can any gnome/icewm/etc users share what copying/pasting is like? Better than K? I'd consider switching just for this. Matt _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
