'Cut and paste' function in Safari

On my iPad, when I scroll down a long web page in Safari, sometimes the text turns grey and the word 'copy' appears. I have to tap the screen a couple of times to get rid of the grey. This is very irritating. Is there any way to disable this function?

Do you mean stay on the very edge of the display area? If I take care to swipe on the very edge, it does seem to work. It is just going to to difficult to train myself to do it like that. Thanks for the tip.

  • Is there a file size limitation on the cut and paste function in OSX?

    I have noticed that sometime I am able to cut and paste files and sometimes I can only copy them.  Is there a limitation in the system and if so what is it?  I have also that sometimes I get the option to keep a duplicate file and sometimes it will only allow me to replace it.  Clarity anyone?

    You should not be able to "cut" a file at all, regardless of its size. Files can only be copied.
    Depending on where you copied it from and where you are trying to copy it to, you may be able to only copy.
    If the enclosing folder has an ACL that denies delete, then you wont be able to move it, only copy.

  • Cut and Paste function in Release 620

    Hi Experts - I was wondering if someone out there can help me. My question is how would I copy a column of data from an ALV grid and paste it into another area (variant). I can get it to select (highlight) the column but cannot get it to copy to clipboard for later pasting. If this is not working with this version, is there a way I can get the script to keypress the letter "C" so I can do a copy through right-clicking and bringing up context menu.
    Thanks

    Hi umer ,
                I was reading and came acroos few good tricks in SAP.As if now I dont know, That you facing this cut paste for all application of SAP or is it only ALV.
    Anyways,
      I just wanted to tell you about quick cut and paste option which is available with SAP.
    On the standard tool bar we can opt for this option.
    CLick on customize local layout (Alt-F12) option in your local GUI setting and choose Quick cut and paste..
    This way you can copy cut paste just by highlighting the text desired for copying.And the place the cursor on the place where you want to paste and just click the right button of the mouse.It is really amazing and comfortable.Just try it out .Hope it works out for you.Remember we need to activate using above options.
    Hoping your query will be solved.
    Have a best day ahead.

  • I've suddenly lost the Cut and paste function.... Firefox or system problem?

    In the last 2 -3 days I do not get the cut and paste options when I highlight and right click. This is across the board.

    Start Firefox in a special diagnostic mode called "Safe mode:"
    * Click the Firefox button and in the help menu, select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    * Or in Firefox 4-9, hold down '''Shift''' while selecting the shortcut you normally use to open the browser
    * ''For now if you encounter a Safe Mode window, select <u>Continue in Safe Mode</u>.
    If your problem is gone with Safe Mode, it is most likely caused by an add-on. Read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] to find the culprit.

  • No cut and paste function?

    hello,
    coming from a window world, i don't know all about mac.
    i was surprised not to found the cut and paste option on leopard.
    is it me or it doesn't exist ?
    thank you

    To (hopefully) clarify:
    In Windows XP, you can cut and paste files and folders in Explorer using ctrl+x and ctrl+v. This is essentially the same thing as dragging and dropping items between folders, as long as you're doing it between folders on the same volume.
    In Leopard's Finder, you can't cut and paste files, but you can copy and paste them, either by using the menu or keystrokes (cmd+c and cmd+v). Dragging and dropping files between folders on the same volume has the same effect as cutting and pasting (moving). If you drag and drop files between folders on different volumes, however, it will copy rather than move the file by default.
    There are also some interesting things you can do by combining key commands and dragging and dropping. Holding the following keys while dragging/dropping will have different effects:
    Option - duplicate the file
    Command + Option - create an alias (shortcut) to the file
    Hope that helps.

  • Role Cut and Paste Functionality

    Dear All,
    My client wants to cut the Role from one Project which is not staffed and Paste it to another project without changing any data from the Role. So, please help me if any standard functionality is available in cProject or any functional module or Development which can fulfill this requirement.
    Thanks
    Abhijeet

    Hi,
    You can use "Copy role" to copy role within same project. "Include Role" can be used to copy roles from Templates.
    I fear there is no standard functionality to copy Roles across projects. You may need a custom development of your own.

  • Cut and Paste broken in Safari 5.1

    Using the keyboard shortcuts Cmd-K and Cmd-Y no longer works correctly in Safari 5.1.
    This behaviour (still) works correctly in text edit.
    In Safari, the "paste buffer" is apparently never cleared, resulting is ALL of the recent cut operations being pasted, not just the most recent one.

    Those have never been built-in keyboard commands as far as I know. If you have them, you're running a third-party system modification.

  • How do you cut and paste tables in and out of Excel from either Mail.app or Outlook 2011?

    When I try to cut and paste a table generated in Excel for Mac into the body of an email the formatting holds but when I send the table is reduced to one column. Same is true for copying from incoming mail into Excel, when I paste into Excel it is reduced to one column rather than keeping the table format. I have tried using mail.app and went out and Outlook 2011 and both programs have the same issue. The reformatting also happens when I forward an email received from a coworker that contains a table, not just on cut and paste operations.
    I need to do this regularly and right now my only option is using my old PC where the cut and paste function keeps formatting between Excel and Outlook just fine. Attaching a pdf or excel file is not an option. There has to be a way to maintain the formatting and being able to extract the tables keeping them intact. Please let me know if you have a solution to maintain this formatting within email programs. Thank you in advance.

    Selecting all does not help - the issue is I need a table within an incoming email to be moved to excel, edited and then pasted back into a new email. "Select All" picks up the email headers, signatures, any messages around the table etc so that doesn't work. Also, as pointed out above Excel doesn't have a select all feature to get the tables back into the body of an email.
    I just tried again going from Excel into Outlook 2011. No luck. All one column down the left side of the email. All columns are removed and text crammed into one column. Just to check I cut from one Excel document and pasted into another and it retained all formating just fine. It is only in and out of Outlook that seems to be the issue.

  • Cut and Paste not working on Mountain Lion

    I downloaded Mountain Lion on the first day of its release, upgrading from Lion. Ever since then My cut and paste functions havent been working. It would function after the first 10 to 15 minutes, but soon after that time passes, I am unable to copy/cut paste anything either via the mouse or typing commands. This is very frustrating. I would have to shtdown and turn the computer back on just to get the function back temporarily. Does anyone have a solution for this?!
    Also, I just updated my Mountain Lion to 10.8.1 as of yesterday, and its still happening!!
    Lastly, I verified permissions and reinstalled the OS, still happening...

    1. Open Disk Utility and repair the permissions
    2. Go to Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences and delete com.apple.dock.plist

  • Cut-and-paste from Windows notepad to webforms text item?

    I can copy text from a Windows program such as notepad and paste it into a text item ina a client/server version of a form, but if I run the same form over the web, I lose the cut-and-paste functionality. Is it possbile to cut-and-pastee text into a webform text item?
    Thank you!
    Tom

    You can do this on the web but yu require an extra step. Have a look at the browser setting - you need to ensure that
    you are able to run unsigned applets.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cut and paste not working

    Cut and Paste functionality has stopped working, even after a Restart, in both Numbers and Pages.  OS is Mavericks 10.9.2.

    I can paste a .jpg object into a Pages document, but can't cut and paste text blocks.   When I select and execute "Cut" (either via keyboard or menu), the "Paste" function does nothing (although it might be inserting a single space character).   This failure to "Paste" also exists in the TextEdit app.
    In Numbers the problem exists both for text blocks and for cells.
    This has happened in the past, but seemed to be corrected with a Restart of the OS.   Not this time.

  • Suggestion-Cut and Paste

    I would love to see a "Cut and Paste" function in the iphone. Hopfully the next OS update will have it.

    Posting an opinionated statement about the iPhone on a forum meant only for user-to-user technical problem discussion does very little to get Apple listening. Believe me, it's already been said many, many, many times here. The chances are virtually null that an Apple iPhone engineer glances these threads, sees your post, and exclaims, +"Aha! A virtuous and profound prose! We shall add it now."+
    Instead, send your thoughts directly to Apple:

  • Cut and paste from Safari to Word doc please Help!!!!!

    I am trying to take a map from the internet via either Mapquest or Rand Mcnally maps and put it in a Word document, and I cannot figure out how to do it. I have tried to highlight the map and cut and paste it in the document but this is not working, if anyone out there knows how to perform this function, please let me know as soon as possible.
    Thanks
    Chris Knop

    Hi knopper, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    This should work. :~)
    1] cmd shift 4 brings up a cross hair.
    2] drag cross hair across the map and release.
    3] see the png file, maybe jpg, on your desktop or where you have system store new things.
    4] open to make sure its what you want.
    5] copy it into word.
    If that works, I like Green or Gold stars. See Apple info on the email alerts.
    Thanks, Joyous Computing, JP
