Project Notes: Implement CTRL C, CTRL V

[Eddy Van Esch]

In "Project Notes" there is a right-click pop-up menu to do Copy/Paste, but CTRL C, CTRL V do not seem to be implemented.
In fact, if you do CTRL V in Project Notes, sometimes the text is pasted in the code editor...

Therefore, a request to implement CTRL C, CTRL V copy/pasting in Project Notes.

Kind regards

Eddy,

Not to invalidate your request as I don't mind if it's implemented, but there is another way.

I have seen CTRL C and CTRL V not implemented in programs or implemented with a different function than Cut and Paste many times. It's totally up to the programmer.  But CTRL INS (Copy) and SHIFT INS (Paste) are almost always available as they are made available by Windows itself.  I used to say always available, but I have found one program in over twenty years that changed this default action.

By the way, CTRL DEL is Cut. And, true to form, these work flawlessly in FF's Project Notes.

Hadn't thought of those, David. Because I never use them.
But they can be an alternative .. until Paul has implemented CTRL C, CTRL V .. 

BTW, CTRL Delete does not work on my laptop in Project Notes. But it does say 'Delete' on the key, not 'Del'.
If I hit CTRL Delete in Project Notes, it just deletes 1 character, not the selected text.

My mistake Eddy.  It's SHIFT DELETE for paste.

It's automatic when I use it. But got it wrong when I tried to remember what it is.  I should have checked before posting

[Eddy Van Esch]

Indeed, David.
SHIFT DELETE works for cutting a selection. Thanks!
Somehow, I never got around to learning and using these keystrokes.

[David Kenny]

Correction (again): SHIFT DELETE is Cut, not Paste as I stated in my last post.

Somehow, I never got around to learning and using these keystrokes.

No worries, it's not documented as far as I know.  I stumbled across it many years ago. It's been available as far back as Windows 95 (at least). If you are able to switch your habits to it, you will rarely be disappointed that it isn't available in any edit field.

Just to put it into a nutshell:

<CTRL><INSERT> = Copy selection
<SHIFT><INSERT> = Paste

This I am using since QuickBasic days. They work with any editor, also with all FireFly editon.
