Copy and paste on Enterprise Manager running on Xwindows

Dear All
It might be a simpe question if known the answer.
Is it possible to do the "copy" and "paste" of
selected text on Enterprise Manager running on Xwindows? For example, Is it possible to copy a view or procedure code shown on Enterprise Manager and paste it onto another window? I used to run OEM on PCs and could do so
by using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+v; but couldn't do the same on OEM running on Solaris using xterm: Hummingbird (Vista eXceed).

Zhuang

Hi princess,
Check the Edit menu, where you'll find Cut, Copy and Paste, as well as variations of Paste in some applications. Where there is a keystroke combination to do the same thing, you will find it listed in the menu beside the menu command, Here's my Edit menu in Pages:
Yours will be missing the starred key stroke set by Paste and Match Style. This is a custom one, taking advantage of OS X permitting the creating of keystroke combinations for top level menu items without one assigned.
One handy set to memorize is the Z X C V series. With the command key, these are Oops!, Cut, Copy and Paste.
If you've used keyboard shortcuts in Windows, you will find that many of the Mac ones are the same, but use the command key where MS uses the control (ctrl) key.

Barry
PS: A minor rewording on Niels instructions for using the modifier keys. When I gave instructions essentially the same as his to my grade four and five students, I found many of them stabbed at the two (or more) keys, trying to press both at exactly the same time, an almost impossible task. When I revised the instructions to those below, most of the errors disappeared.
command-C: This means 'press and hold the command key, tap and release the C key, then release the command key.
shift-command-A: Press and hold the shift and command keys, tap and release the A key, then release the two modifier keys.
In general: Press the modifier keys (shift, command, option, control—whichever is called for—in any order, holding it/them down, then press/tap the action key (usually a letter), then release the action key, then release the modifier keys.

  • Copy and paste to a JTextArea under Mac OSX

    Hello,
    Mac OSX users complain about the lack of copy and paste functionality
    when they run my small Java application. Unfortunately I don't own a
    Mac so I cannot test it or find out where the problem is. When I run the
    application under various versions of Linux or Windows I can copy and
    paste by using the common keyboard shortcuts ctrl-c and ctrl-v.
    Searching the web I found discussions here and there, some very old,
    but none of them was realy solved or gave me an idea of what I could
    try to change in order to make c&p work under Mac OSX.
    So I need a little help. First I'd like to know if copy & paste works when
    the app runs as applet or standalone application (the jar file can do both).
    And, of course: why doesn't copy and paste work under Mac OSX?
    The application can be found here (released under the GPL):
    http://transtoba2.seige.net/
    And please be mild, it is still in beta state. ;-)
    Best regards
    Leander

    The following link helped me understand an issue with copy and paste
    http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-12078
    It seems to be down to the L&F you are using and how the key bindings are mapped.
    In summary
    OSX 10.4 , Safari and Firefox
    To copy/paste in the Applet � Ctrl-C , Ctrl-V
    To paste a value from Altio into the OSX environment use ^ V (^ is the Apple key)
    To paste a value from OSX into Altio use Ctrl-V
    Hope this works for you

    I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:
    http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
    I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
    I hope you'll post here with your results!

  • Running Widows Vista system, every time I try to copy and paste from Firefox DEP shuts down Word Works

    I am using a HP desk top with Windows Vista. When ever I try to copy and paste from Mozilla Firefox, the DEP system shuts down
    Microsoft Works Word Processor. I have tried turning off DEP for Works but it still shuts down the Program.

    This is might because of your prior change in softwares. so first you have to do run '''sfc''' in run command. and then you see the specific problem which causes this . Since System File Checker (sfc) scan will make Windows replace corrupt or missing system files on your computer.
    * Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.

  • CS4 problems copying and pasting masked items

    The problem: Copying and pasting a placed image combined with other Illustrator art with multiple gausian blurs that have been masked/grouped. Placed image type does not matter. PDF, JPG, TIFF, etc placed in Illustrator CS4 (or 3). Some images are complex and others are not.
    What happens: After copying and pasting, the masked (grouped) image breaks apart into separate components that are no longer masked/grouped. Happens with different files with different images on different computers. WIth or without text in document. Sometimes image pastes correctly but most times it does not.
    Hardware/OS: 3 separate iMacs (20" and two 23") all with intel chips but different processing speeds. All running latest and most updated version of Leopard. All with 4 MB Ram and more than a 100 GB of free hard drive space.
    Software: Illustrator CS4 (latest update) and CS3 on one of the 23" iMacs.
    Solutions tried so far: Ran Onyx, repaired permissions, scripts, cleaned caches, zapped PRAM and on one iMac, ran Disk Warrior. Tried in Safe boot mode and tired with a new user account. Created new files with new images and tried old files. Tried opening files from the server and from the desktop. Threw out illustrator prefs and emptied trash.
    Thought it may have to do with font conflicts but some files don't have fonts. Turned off font management programs (Suitcase on one iMac, Font Explorer Pro on others, all updated to latest version) and restarted so only system fonts loaded. No luck. Turned on fonts used in various documents, still no luck.
    Thought it may have to do with memory issues after copying masked items. Sometimes the copied image would paste correctly and then the next time I pasted it, it would not. Before pasting a second time I would copy a small item (to clear the memory) and then paste it and then recopy the masked item and paste that. Still no luck.
    Checked activity monitor but nothing looks to be a memory hog or out of place. Happens on all three iMacs and while the OS and Illustrator are common to all three, Fonts and font management tools are not. No weird plug-ins or third party extensions installed. Plus it happened in safe boot mode so all extraneous fonts and such should have been deactivated.
    Curiously, if I drag copy the masked item using the option key, the masked item copies fine. I know this can be used as a work-around but I would like to resolve this as sometimes the designers need/want to use command-c/command-v.
    Not sure what else to try. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

    This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
    on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
    down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
    solve this glitch in my experience.
    Good Luck

  • Copy and paste stopped working in photoshop CC

    I've been using Photoshop CC since march and this is a new issue. Not previously a problem until today.
    When I select and area to copy, from a JPEG or photoshop PSD photograph, and make a new file to paste it into, the new file comes up the same size as the clipboard contents, as it is meant too, but photoshop will no  longer allow me to paste. The selection EDIT, Paste is still there in black, not greyed out. I temporarily fixed it by restarting my computer and it worked until I closed Photoshop down again and reopened it, problem is back...what is going on?
    Is it to do with preferences and how do I change them to fix this?
    the only thing I've changed recently was telling JPEG files to use photoshop as the default programme to open up in my computer. I changed this because Bridge was no longer showing photoshop as an option when you rightclick an image and chose which file to use to open it. The fix was to close Bridge, chose a jpeg and change the default to photoshop to open it.
    I'm running windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
    any help recieved with thanks....

    Thanks again,I did manage to delete the preferences using your method above. but again, copy and paste using PSD files still not resolved.
    Copy and paste works for PNG GIFF JPEG files but not for PSD
    OK thanks to Curt Y, I suggest the solution is to do the preferences first, then the purging.
    I went back and purged the clipboard again after resetting the preferences and now it appears to be fixed.
    thank you

  • Can't copy and paste files using RDP session in server 2012

    I'm running windows 8, but I have also verified on a windows 7 machine as well. We have server 2012 installed on a machine
    I use remote desktop to get into. I cannot copy files from my local pc and use paste to get them to the server. I could do this with server 2008. Is there some setting I have to change or does this not work with server 2012?
    FYI, clipboard is checked when I open my remote desktop connection window. If I connect into a win server 2008 r2 machine from the same local machine, I can copy and paste files
    just fine.

    Hi,
    I believe RDS clipboard redirection should be enabled by default also on Windows Server 2012. Is there perhaps is a Group Policy Object active that is configured to disable Clip Board Redirection? Either on the computer or the user OU. If not:
    You did not explicitly state this, but I'm assuming that you are running in Application Mode (meaning you did not install the RD Session Host role) ? If so please check the registry on the Windows Server 2012 destination server and look for:
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Winstations\RDP-Tcp\fDisableClip
    this should be set to
    0, to make allow Clipboard Redirection
    Also check the key below:
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Addins\Clip Redirector
    This should have: 
    Name
    REG_SZRDPClip
    Type
    REG_DWORD0x00000003
    If you did run the RD Session Host role, and you have done so using a Scenario Based Deployment (Scenario
    Based Deployment of RDS in Windows Server 2012 ) you will have a Remote Desktop Management Service GUI available as pat of the Server Manager with which you can enable or disable ClipBoard Redirection from within a GUI on a Session Collection level
    or you can use PowerShell
    Using Powershell to install, configure and maintain RDS in Windows Server 2012

  • Copy and Paste Object Changes Properties

    I'm trying to create a watermark of my stationary. Ultimately, I want all the pages of my resume to have this background. The stationary is built of three separate objects: a logo in the upper left hand corner, my contact information (created as a png in another app) along the bottom left and a large circular object that runs off the right and bottom of the page and sits behind whatever text I have over it.
    I have yet to find an online tutorial that tells me how to create this and put it on each page. But I did manage, by trial and error to set up the first page. I then tried to copy the round object from the first page and paste it on the second. It pasted exactly where I wanted it, but it will not go backward. 'Send Backward' and 'Send to the Back' are both greyed out. Do I have to build this from scratch on each page?

    Thank you, Peter, that was exactly what I sought. For those reading this (or when I return to it, having forgotten the answer), in Pages 5.2, find this at Arrange>Section Masters>Move Object to Section Master.
    Why have you made your contact information a .png, which presumably you might want people to be able to copy and paste into their Contacts as text?
    An excellent question for which I have no good answer. I have changed it to a text box.

  • I3 WM Copy and Paste VMWare

    Hi.
    I've just installed the i3 window manager on Arch, running from a Virtual Machine (VMWare) on a Windows 7 system. And I can't get the copy/paste working between W7 and i3 on Arch. Copy and Paste works fine between the host and guest when I'm running Xfce, but not for i3. (VMWare-tools are installed.)
    Any pointers or links to docs?

    Cut/Paste has nothing to do with your window manager, it's an Xorg issue. Because DEs provide more tools, they normally also have one for cut/paste.
    Take a look at autocutsel or similar tools.

  • Getting rid of copied and pasted artwork

    Yesterday my copy of the new Pearl Jam album arrived and included in the package was 2 free concerts to download, which I have done. All installed OK and I have managed to get them showing in my iTunes library.
    Now, not being proper releases there was no iTunes artwork for the albums however PJ did release both shows as official bootlegs a few years ago so there is artwork out there which I found using Google images. I promptly copied and pasted the artwork into iTunes.
    Only on one of them I mistakenly pasted the wrong artwork and now I can't get rid of it. "Clear downloaded album artwork" doesn't work. Now I have made this mistake many times with CD's I have copied and solved the problem by deleting the songs from the library and deleting the files altogether and re-copying but in this case I can't delete the files as I won't get them back again (being one-time free downloads). I have deleted the tracks from the iTunes library and re-added the files but the artwork re-appears again as if it has somehow welded itself to the files. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it so I can get the correct artwork on there?

    I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in  Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

    It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
    It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
    First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
    Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
    Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
    Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
    This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
    Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
    Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
    Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.

  • Can I simply copy and paste an existing library file from XP to a Mac and then copy and paste the music files themselves? Of course, the music files will be in a different location...

    Hello Gurus,
    I have an aged XP machine with a large music library in ITunes. iTunes will not run any longer (tried uninstalling and reinstalling etc to no avail) but the music files are backed up onto an external drive so all safe. I have purchased a Mac which of course already has iTunes installed and I can copy the music files onto the Mac, but can I simply copy and paste the iTunes library files from the XP machine to the Mac so that all of the playlists, tags, ratings etc transfer, or do I have to start again?
    Thanks for the advice.

    Sounds like you have a split library. Ideally you would make this portable before attempting to move it to the Mac. See make a split library portable for details.
    Perhaps you can get iTunes running on the old box long enough to sort things out...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    You will also want to deauthorize the XP system once everything is working properly on the Mac.

  • The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?

    I have recently switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro.
    I have a large number of documents and photographs on a multiterrabite external drive, backed up on a second multiterrabite external drive.
    Both external drives are formatted for MacIntosh. This has been verified by agents at an Apple store and also at Best Buy in two different cities.
    This is the problem:

    Also, the MacBook Pro will not allow me to rename multiple documents or photographs. I can click-and-rename a single one, but this is impossibly time consuming. I can batch-rename in iPhoto, but when I transfer the photographs to the external drive, the rename does not transfer.
    I’m reduced to using my wife’s Toshiba to cut-and-past, rename, and transfer documents. It works perfectly. Is there any way to do this on the MacBook Pro?
    Thanks!

    No, this is a philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple believes that it's dangerous to cut a file in case the user never pastes it; in that case the file is lost. Microsoft seems to not have this problem (if I remember Windows correctly) because they don't delete the originating file if it's cut but never pasted.
    Even though Macs have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, philosophically Macs have traditionally been mouse-first. This applies to file copy operations. In your case, what a Mac user would do is open the source window, open the destination window (on your second drive), and then Command-drag the selected files from the source to destination window. This is because a normal drag would leave the originals behind, while adding the Command modifier key tells OS X that this is a Move, not a Copy, so don't leave the originals behind.
    (In addition there are different rules for drag-copying within the same volume or between different volumes. If you drag between two folders on the same volume, the files are moved. If you drag between different volumes, the files are copied unless you hold down Command to delete the copies on the source volume.)

    Two problems in this case. First, batch file renaming is not built into OS X unless you build something with Automator. However, there are many utilities that can do batch file renaming which you can find at macupdate.com or on the App Store. Since I work with media I often batch rename using one of the media managers I have lying around like Media Pro or Adobe Bridge (comes with Photoshop).
    iPhoto is a database front end designed to shield the file system from the consumer and let them concentrate on creativity and sharing. As such it is often a poor choice for managing files directly. When you "transferred the photographs" chances are you moved the originals, not the ones iPhoto edited which are stored in a hidden folder.

    There will not be a way to do it exactly like Windows. As described above, there are ways to do it "the Mac way." If it is possible to remove judgment on which way is "better" you might find the Mac way to be acceptable, but of course sometimes we simply prefer what we're used to.

  • Can no longer copy and paste with new version. Articles you provided did not help.

    When I try to copy and paste in firefox it says I can't do it any longer. It's a security issue, and the "learn more" tab gives some abstruse directions about completely closing firefox, and then getting back in without opening it to a place I can't find.
    Could you please tell me how to re-enable these necessary functions in an understandable way?

    Is this only on one website? some websites disable copy and pasting for various reasons.
    If this happens on every website, have you tried to start Firefox up in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]? It may be an extension causing the problem.
    Also, go ahead and update to Firefox 11, since it does have several bug fixes (I don't recall anything related to copy and paste, but give it a go [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] )
    Or, you may have some sort of virus which is interfering with your copy and paste. Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
    Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]

  • Copy and Paste not working properly in MLion

    A week or so ago I purchased and installed the upgrade to Mountain Lion OS X. Whenever I try to copy large number of files from one folder to onother in my desktop, the copy and paste process does not.
    Copy/Paste of a few files works, different from  the previous OS system but works. However, if I copy 3000 files or more then the computer slows down significantly or freezes. The little colorful spinning wheel replaces the cursor arrow and cannot use anything else in the computer. I need to abort the finder (op+com+esc) to stop the process. While copying large number of files the copy status bar never appears to show the copying process. I was used to see the copy status window with information about the number of files, their size, time remaining and the little bar in the middle growing from left to right as the copy process continued. None of this happens with MLion.
    I called Apple for service. I spent hrs with their customer service people on the phone who suggested a number of things that we implemented to try to correct the problem. Nothing worked! Finally they asked me to reinstall MLion and so I did. The problem was not fixed. They asked me turn on, off, unplug the computer, etc. and nothing fixed the problem.
    In sum I just want my old OS system that used to work fine. MLion is substandard, we do not want our money back we just want the computer to work as it used to so we can return to be productive again. Any suggestion on how to reinstall SLeopard without having to reinstall every single piece of software in the computer?  Thanks.

    I am actually CUTTING and Pasting (CMD+C, CMD-OPTION-V) and Finder gets stuck either with the keyboard or dragging (Holding CMD to Move the Files)
    I was downloading Midi files from a reliable website that I've using for years www.vgmusic.com. I was using Safari, so I downloaded Midi soundfiles from a particular videogame using the ALT key to speed things up. Say I downloaded 120 small (10-100KB ) files. I SHIFT selected them from the Downloads Folder and then I dragged them with CMD to place them in my 500GB (the non-system) partition. It got stuck. File is being used, was the message given.
    So I thought it was Safari-related, so I switched to Firefox and downloaded another batch and dragged them to my Midi folder on the 500GB. Same thing. I've restarted and quit all open programs. I thought it was an external drive that was hogging access, so I unplugged all my external HDDs (320GB FAT32, 1GB NTFS, 3GB HFS+).
    I also thought that VLC was the culprit so I reinstalled it and erased the preferences. Now it is not running.
    Now I have some greyed-out files that are zero-kilobytes in the destination folder.
    Let's say I try to move the first one "pkrs_petersburg.mid" and "pokecenter.mid" , this appears,
    A message saying "preparing to move to "PokemonRSE" "preparing to move 2 files". Come on, I would expect to see this if the files were large, these are 23KB and 9KB!!
    The message is in French and it means "It's not possible to move the file "pokecenter.mid" right now because it is being used by another task, such as the copying or moving of a file or the emptying of the Trash. Try again once the task is finished.
    The other message (from a previous attempt) is "It is not possible to place all selected files in the same place: at least one of them, named "pokecenter.mid" is being used."
    I already emptied out my Trash!
