Good morning Jafar, As you have said, you can copy from another application to the Unicon IDE. However, the reverse is not true, at least in linux. I was able to copy from gedit to UI but I could not copy from UI to gedit.
A quick follow through the code doesn't appear to show how to get to the system clipboard. The UI creates a Clipboard object but this appears to local to the Unicon VM. I will continue looking later today when I am back from firewood collecting. regards Bruce Rennie On 03/11/15 06:24, Jafar Al-Gharaibeh wrote: > Bruce, > > You should be able to do "global" clipboard" copy/paste.
