Can you add cut copy and paste icons to mail toolbar?

Can you add a cut, copy and paste icons to the mail toolbar in macmail?

I guess that these were considered such fundamental operations, each with an already existing variety of operations (mouse, keyboard, right-click, ctrl+c etc) that the Thunderbird devs didn't choose to replicate them again. Similarly, keyboard selection is relied upon a great deal in Thunderbird, rather than adding all the ugly (IMHO) checkboxes that now counterintuitively litter all Windows Explorer displays.
So, if the devs expected you to use ctrl+right+shift to select the current text word by word, then ctrl+c to copy it, ctrl+x to cut it and ctrl+v to paste it would be quite natural, since your hands are already at the keyboard. Similarly, if you prefer to select by mouse, a right-click also offers options to copy, cut and paste, and there is also the possibility to drag selected text, serving cut and paste in one action. So it could be argued that there is no need for buttons.
There used to be additional button add-ons for Thunderbird, but those that I know about don't appear to be under active maintenance and don't currently work with TB 31.0.
You could build your own using a Custom Buttons add-on, but it isn't easy to find the appropriate function call to attach to your home-made buttons. :-(

Here's the code you need if you try this add-on:
cut: goDoCommand("cmd_cut")
copy: goDoCommand("cmd_copy")
paste: goDoCommand("cmd_paste")

The tedious bit is finding suitable icons; the defaults are pretty but unhelpful coloured stars.

    The group of customize icons does not include cut, copy, or paste to add to the mail toolbar. Is there a way to add them?

  • Since downloading 29.0.1 I can no longer cut, copy and paste. So frustrating!!!

    I often copy and paste items into website forums with no problem. However, since I upgraded to 29.0.1 I can no longer do that and it's so frustrating. I have tried doing the extra steps of clicking on your copy and paste items but that doesn't help. I even tried uploading the AllowClipboard Helper but that didn't work either. I never needed that add-on in the past.
    This is ridiculous.
    How do I revert back to version 28? It worked fine but you just had to go ahead and "fix" it and I hate the new version. I was able to download the Classic Theme Restorer which helped a lot but some things I could not make like the version 28.

    karen,
    You don't need that user.js file any longer for those cut, copy, and paste preferences.
    There is a Classic Theme Restorer support thread over here. <br />

  • How to add Cut,Copy and  Paste

    May not seem as easy as we'd all like to believe in an iPhone.
    It needs to be somewhat intuitive and can not break the existing tap/slide/2-finger-stuff mold.
    So, here's a proposal:
    Tap-and-hold then a second-finger tap could launch a pop-up area which could contain the obvious editing commands (cut, copy, paste) This popup could also contain a round-robin area containing the last 'N' OBJECTs that have been 'copied.'
    I say objects because it would be great if it could hold TEXT, IMAGES, SOUNDS, EMAILs, etc.
    And now we need a nice way to easily "select" such 'objects' ... perhaps that same menu could contain "Begin Select" and "End Select." (Yeah, I know that's really archaic... and only works sorta for TEXT, and makes the popup thing so modal as to be very troublesome.)
    I'd like to hear other's thoughts on this... mabe you guys experimenting with the new SDK can offer up something for CutCopy&Paste ??
    thanks,
    tob

    Here is an easy way (in theory, anyway) to implement text selection:
    Replace volume control button functionality by 'freeze' functionality.
    At least for me volume control buttons are useless, but I would LOVE to have copy-paste. It could be let for user to decide (settings), if he/she wants to use volume button either for volume control or freezing the screen, or this functionality could be made context sensitive: when you are in 'text-mode' (Safari, eMail, etc.) volume control button will work as freeze, when you are in 'phone mode' or 'iPod mode', it acts as volume control. This modification could be made by adjusting OS, no need to add new buttons or other HW changes.
    Using this feature would be simple: if you want to select text, you push 'freeze' button, and then moving your finger in the screen won't scroll it down or sideways but lets you select the text. Selecting text downwards below bottom screen limit could scroll and select text further. When text is selected, clicking the text should pop-up contextual menu with copy-paste, and other relevant commands.
    I have emailed this suggestion to Apple.

  • Can I cut, copy and paste a block of text in PL/SQL Developer?

    I have been using TextPad to put together SQL statements by using the cut, copy and pasting of BLOCKS of text.

  • Cut, copy,and paste on nokia n97

    can someone please help me. I dont know how to cut, copy,and paste on my nokia n97

    I had some difficulty locating this 3 line icon myself.
    Turns out that if you close the screen down and tap the input box on the web page you want to paste the text into, up pops an application (text entry I suppose, anyway it has a load of stuff, green tick top left, and then this magical 3 line icon, followed by what I assume is the predictive text input status, a keyboard icon, left/right arrow keys, backspace, and then your usual phone pad entry).  Tap the 3 line icon and the text you copied earlier is pasted into the text display area of this app.  Then hit the green tick and it gets pasted into the field you first double clicked on in the web page.
    I hope that helps? 
    BTW, doesn't matter what orientation the screen is in using this method, just that the screen is folded flat back on the phone to hide the qwerty keyboard.

  • Re: Cut, Copy and Paste

    Hi Ronald,
    I am not an expert on this but I can tell you how I would
    start to approach this task.
    First, create menu commands for cut copy and paste, and
    map short-cut keys to them.
    When I got a cut or copy command, I would call the clipboard
    methods defined on WindowSystem (p. 545 in Display Library
    manual for Release 2). Same thing for paste. At least
    it seems to me that this is what you want to do -- move
    objects to and from the clipboard.
    There are also methods for finding the focus in various
    widgets but I bet you (or someone else) can find them! :-)
    Hope this helps,
    Geoff

    I wonder why the Windows Look and feel doesn't just put a "cut, copy, paste, clear and select all" menu as default for JTextFields and areas. When you use AWT, you get that for free.
    Anyways, read above, but I will add that you can build your menu with the cut copy and paste actions of the JTextField object ...
    Read this document for the actions provided by JTextComponents ...
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/generaltext.html#commands
    If you use these actions, you don't have to reinvent the wheel and implement them yourself.

  • How to cut, copy and paste a tree node in JTree?????

    Hi, Java GUI guru. Thank you for your help in advance.
    I am working on a File Explorer project with JTree. There are cut, copy and paste item menus in my menu bar. I need three EventAction methods or classes to implements the three tasks. I tried to use Clipboard to copy and paste tree node. But I can not copy any tree node from my tree.

    I would appreciate you very very much for your help!!!!

    Hi, Paul Clapham:
    Thank you for your quick answer.
    I store the node in a DefaultMutableTreeNode variable, and assign it to another DefaultMutableTreeNode variable. I set up two classes (CopyNode and PasteNode). Here they are as follows:
    //CopyNode class
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.tree.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    public class CopyNode implements ActionListener{
    private TreeList jtree;
    String treeNodeName;
    TreePath currentSelection;
    DefaultMutableTreeNode currentNode;
    public CopyNode(TreeList t){
    jtree = t;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    currentSelection = jtree.tree.getSelectionPath();
    if(currentSelection != null){
    currentNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)(currentSelection.getLastPathComponent());
    treeNodeName = currentNode.toString();
    //PasteNode class
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.tree.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    public class PasteNode extends DefaultMutableTreeNode{
    private TreeList jtree;
    CopyNode copyNode;
    public PasteNode(TreeList t){
    jtree = t;
    copyNode = new CopyNode(t);
    public DefaultMutableTreeNode addObject(Object child){
    DefaultMutableTreeNode parentNode = null;
    TreePath parentPath = jtree.tree.getSelectionPath();
    if(parentPath == null){
    parentNode = jtree.root;
    else{
    parentNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)parentPath.getLastPathComponent();
    return addObject(parentNode, child, true);
    public DefaultMutableTreeNode addObject(DefaultMutableTreeNode parent, Object child, boolean shouldBeVisible){
    DefaultMutableTreeNode childNode = copyNode.currentNode;
    if(parent == null){
    parent = jtree.root;
    jtree.treemodel.insertNodeInto(childNode, parent, parent.getChildCount());
    if(shouldBeVisible){
    jtree.tree.scrollPathToVisible(new TreePath(childNode.getPath()));
    return childNode;
    I used these two classes objects in "actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)" methods in my tree:
    //invoke copyNode
    copyItem = new JMenuItem("Copy");
    copyItem.addActionListener(copyNode);
    //invoke pasteNode
    pasteItem = new JMenuItem("Paste");
    pasteItem.addActionListener(
    new ActionListener(){
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    pasteName.addObject(copyName.treeNodeName);
    When I run the drive code, making a copy some node from my tree list, I got bunch of error messages.
    Can you figour out what is wrong in my two classes? If you have sample code, would you mind mail me for reference.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Is it possible you mistakenly clicked on a [Clear Layout] button?
    But a great hint is- Always click on the [Create a Saved Book] button, early in your new book design.
    Then you have a permanent link to the book in the Collections panel. (In addition to the standard collection of your selected images)
    Note: a Book Collection shows an icon that looks like a book.
    Every time you come back to edit the book, open the Book Module by clicking on the white arrow that appears on the end of your Book Collection title. (The title as saved)
    Re-opening a book without using the "Saved Book" option can have unpredictable results.
    A "Book" Collection is like a "Smart Collection" because anything you do to the book design, change pages, change images, etc,  is automatically updated in the Saved Book collection.
