Cut/copy and paste on the iPad I get extra text

When I cut/copy and paste on the iPad I get extra text symbols like "%". Is there a way to just copy the text without the extra stuff? If I copy from Safari and paste into an email I have to go and erase all the extra text.

the % is usually caused by spaces. It's an HTML 'glitch' in that, in the brain and logic of HTML, there should never be a space, so when it sees them it inserts % to fill that void that it's logic says isn't there.
I'm not sure if there is a work around beyond maybe pasting it first into a text document, then from there into your e-mail and see if that makes the symbols go away.

When I cut and paste on the ipad I often get unwanted html text.

When I cut and paste on the ipad I often get unwanted html text. Is there a way to just get the selected words? I dont need all the code and % signs.

Does this occur when you use a laptop?
It could be some extra formating characters are being copied. The web server app needs to filter these characters out.
Possible solution.
You need to find an app that filters out formating characters. Look for app support only simple ascii text.
copy text. paste to simple ascii text app. copy pasted text. Paste to safri.
something like, should be good enough. use file type .txt

On the Firefox drop down menu for Firefox 4, the tab for cut, copy and paste is not highlighted. Is there another way for me to include this on the Firefox start page?

I have Firefox 4. In the Firefox drop down menu, there is an option to cut, copy and paste but it is not highlighted. Please tell me how to highlight this link. Or is there a way to have a cut copy and paste tab?

Those links in the Edit menu are only highlighted if there is something to do: 
Paste should be enabled if the clipboard has data placed on it by a previous Copy or Cut and you have set focus on a text area or field that allows to paste that data.
Copy works if some text is selected.

Do you only want this to happen if you right-click in the location/address bar?
You can ddd code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

With PS 7 create new Place two objects on the new file then you may cut copy and paste Cs2 create new place two object on the new file Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

With PS 7
create new
Place two objects on the new file
then you may cut copy and paste
Cs2
create new
place two object on the new file
Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

If your using File>Place then photoshop cs2 creates what's known as Smart Objects, which photoshop 7 didn't have.
In photoshop cs2 you can rasterize the smart objects and that should make the Cut function available.
Select both placed layers, right click on the area to the right of the tumbnail and select Rasterize Layers.
If in photoshop cs2 you to Help>Photoshop Help and look under Layers>Smart Objects, that should give you a good overview of what smart objects are.

Cut,copy and paste functions using the mouse

Hi.
I'm a new mac owner and have read that I should be able to do the above. Is that correct, and if so how can I get my mouse to cut, copy and paste text. I can do it through edit but am unable to do so by right clicking.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Works fine in TextEdit and Pages - select text by clicking-and-holding and dragging the mouse across it, releasing, then right or control-clicking to bring up the contextual menu which includes these functions. (If you just right-click in TextEdit it will highlight just that word and bring up the menu). It doesn't work in, for example, Safari when entering text as in this forum or reading a web page.

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.

They'll be able to help you get rid of that orange Firefox button, which isn't needed if you have the Menu Bar showing.

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.
Are there any body has sample source code about cut, copy, and paste for tree? If possible, would you mind send me your sample source code to [email protected]
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.

Envy 17-j020us, cannot cut/copy and paste within file explorer

I can cut/copy and paste url's and text from word, etc, but I am unable to cut/copy and paste files within file explorer windows. I have tried running malwarebytes and virus programs. HP support has tried remote access to find the problem unsuccessfully. Is there any other option besides doing a factory reset or restore point? Thanks in advance for any help.
This question was solved.

Hi jdavis33811,
Have you tried all three methods of cutting and pasting? Using the keyboard shortcuts CRTL-X and CTRL-V, right click the file and selecting cut and then using the file explorer ribbon / File menu.
If you have tried all three the next thing to try is a Clean Boot to see if something is in the background blocking the command. A clean boot loads Windows with minimal software and drivers. This Microsoft Support link will show you how to do it.
Once you have performed the clean boot try all three methods of cutting and pasting. If it works the next step is going back to msconfig (see Microsoft link above) and enable half of the services you shutoff to do the Clean Boot. Then try cutting and pasting again. Keep enabling half of the remaining services until you can't cut and paste then disable half of the services you just enabled. Do this until you pinpoint what service caused the issue.
If after all that you are still having a problem then the next step would backing up your files onto an external hard drive or USB flash drive and then doing a full System Recovery.

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
6680,n70,n73,n80,n80ie,n82,n95,innov8,n85, n97, N8, lumia 920

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.

Cut, Copy and Paste menus??

Is there anybody who could give me code for "cut, copy and paste " menuitems (+ functionality) or tell me where I can find it on the internet?
Thanx debeumers

Look at the tutorials on this site for building a menu. As for the code of the cut,copy and paste its up to you to implement what you want them to do. If your using a JTextArea it has a cut(), copy() and paste method built in all you have to do is call it from your menu action handler.

How to restrict Cut, Copy and Paste to a Local Clipboard.

I need to stop any information being copied from my application to other applications such as Word. Is there any way to make sure that all GUI components that support cut, copy and paste use a local clipboard so that I can then control which Flavor's I allow to be cut, copied or pasted?

What system doesn't allow screen shots? Tell my mobile phone camera that it mustn't take a pic of the screen.
Anyway, I'd mess with KeyListeners or KeyBindings and suppress STRG+C where you don't want to allow copying. I have never done this, but that would be my first approach.

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.
Example:
I copy the describe of a table, replace varchar, number, date will 10 spaces and then copy the column names in a block and paste it further down the TextPad.
Then I join the lines into one string, replace the spaces with commas
Then I insert in front of the column name the INSERT INTO table_name(
Then I get the values by copying from somewhere else and paste then in block text where they need to go. ETC, ETC.
Thank you, Bill

In 2.0 you should be able to just type
INSERT INTO emp(
and do multiple selections from code completion list of suggested emp columns (by holding ctrl or shift key). Same for "select" and "from" clauses (with optional auto aliasing).
