Emacs edit-paste vs Ctrl-y

Hi,
Wondering why when I copy something in another X windows program like gedit, I can paste to emacs using Edit->paste, but it does not paste when using Ctrl-y .. is there a keyboard shortcut that performs the actions of the Emacs Edit->paste?
Thanks

Try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Em … nd_regions
All I can say is Ctrl-y works here (freshly installed emacs, no configuration).

ITunes: I can no longer copy a playlist into a Pages (Word) document by using select all edit copy edit paste. Why won't this work now? All I get when I paste is a series of Speaker symbols.

I want to creat a copy of my playlists onto a Pages page. I selected all the entries in the playlist, then did Edit > Copy > Edit > Paste. I've done this lots of times before and it was fine; now when I paste all I get is a series of Speaker symbols, no text with of the playlist songs. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks.

How do I paste a screen capture? Edit-paste or command-V do not work.

How do I paste a screen capture? Edit-paste or command-V do not work. Tom

how did you take the screenshot?
if you used a key combo like command+shift+ a number it will be saved as a file on your desktop
you need to add control* to whatever key combination you pressed to put it on your clipboard
*sorry for saying shift before i meant control

Is there a problem with copy paste using Ctrl+insert and Shift+insert

This is a swing application.
initially i was using java 1.3 and the copy paste using Ctrl+insert and Shift+insert was working
then i migrated the same to java 1.5 and this functionality got messed up.

Include the following in your initialization code, before you create any components:     InputMap im = (InputMap)UIDefaults.get("TextField.focusInputMap");
    im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("control INSERT"), DefaultEditorKit.copyAction);
    im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift INSERT"), DefaultEditorKit.pasteAction);
    im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift DELETE"), DefaultEditorKit.cutAction); You'll need to add the appropriate imports, too: import javax.swing.InputMap;
import javax.swing.KeyStroke;
import javax.swing.UIDefaults;
import javax.swing.text.DefaultEditorKit; It seems they accidentally removed those bindings from JTextField under MetalLookAndFeel in JDK 1.5. They've been restored in JDK 1.6.

Can't edit past events

i have a client who showed me this strange problem today.
she can view or delete past events for which she's listed as the organizer but can't edit them. i don't see any clear errors or notifications on the server to point me in any particular direction.
for individual events added to her calendar with no attendees, she can edit the past events, just not if attendees are listed.
any ideas? server's a g5 xserve running 10.5.5 for now. clients are 10.5.4-10.5.6. the client in question is on 10.5.6.
i also still have an issue at the same client, outlined here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964543

Perhaps you've just updated your OS and now have the newer version of iCal which is ***** compared to the faster, more elegant older version. The older iCal presented every event's details in a ready to edit format just by clicking on the item in the calendar.
Now you have to double click that item you're interested in (one two) to get a window that shows you the item's details. Then, to edit, you must click the 'edit' button (three) upon which another editable window will allow your event details to be edited. Finally, after finishing your edits, you must click 'done' (four). Yes, that's right, 4 clicks to do what used to require only the initial click to specify which event you wanted to edit.
Four times as many clicks for a utility application that has no further improvements, only this annoying change from what was once a very efficient tool.
I do hope a future "update" will bring back the elegance of the older version with some true improvements.

Ridiculous (old) bug in _TextEdit - cannot copy-edit-paste email!

Anyone else noticed this?
When I copy text from my webmail or an internet page and try to edit it with Textedit, it is not possible to email it again without extra "?" signs appearing in the end of every line. They are not visible in the TextEdit window, only in the received mail! TextEdit is marking somehow the line breaks and that becomes visible in the email. I tried changing to plain text - same problem. I tried it in 2 university mail accounts and Yahoo, everywhere the edited text will be spoiled. I first noticed this more than a year ago, but it still is unfixed!!! I had forgotten it and now I just sent an official email which the receiver got full of junk "?" marks! Thanks Apple!!!
Any solutions, or any suggestions for a "very simple text editor" to replace the untrustworthy default editor - TextEdit?

Sometimes, when I copy text from a web page, invisible characters (spaces) are not normal regular spaces: one way to vizualize these characters is to paste the selection in BBEdit or Textwrangler and "show invisible". If you send these, they often result in question marks.
Textwrangler is free, BBEdit is not; both are made by Bare Bones software and are very nice text editors

Editing Paste Clip in Preview

Really frustrated using preview since updating to maverick. I cannot paste a clip like before, that one can edit a paste clip and place it anywhere. Now it is automatically embedded to canvas. pls apple do something to make it back like before.

Thank you. I thought that I could just clip and cut up the video so that I can have separate pieces of video. (as I have a video with a small segment I want to omit in the middle) I see that the original clip stays the same and with in the viewer I am able to select the extend of the clip I want. If I want to pause or omit part of that clip then I suppose I just copy and paste the same clip in again and move the in and out markers.

Editing past alarm list in iCal

The bottom half of the iCal alarm menu appears to hold past alarm settings. I say "appears" only because I recognize some but not all. (Ex: "Play sound "Basso" 20175 minutes before."??) None of these "default" choices are useful to me. I would like to edit them and, secondarily, understand how this list is populated.
I have found only one prior discussion in the community about it. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/3640513#3640513. It steered me to a preference plist (~library/preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist) for editing but it is not apparent how I should edit it the targeted string (PersistentMenu-). I have not made any changes as I'm flying blind. And the only editing tool that I seem to have is Text Edit which is not very friendly.
Can anyone lend a hand or is this a fool's errand?
Thanks, in advance.

or you can type
open library/preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
in to the terminal, and PropertyListEditor should open.
I am fairly sure PropertyListEditor come standard with all macs, so no need to install any other software.
In here you can do as said above:
Scroll down to the PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms item. Expand it, select one of the child items and delete it.
You should of course not have iCal open when doing this, and it would be wise to make a copy of the plist before starting.

Nautilus paste behavior (ctrl + v)

The ctrl + v behavior in nautilus mysteriously changed from actually copying the file to only pasting the path: a popup text box appears in the bottom right corner containing the path of the file. I have no idea what caused the behavioral change. I know it is not a matter of rights: pasting the file using the right click menu works, as is copying the file in console or in another file manager. I'm using nautilus in XMonad.

It seems that the problem comes from the file ~/.gnome2/accels/nautilus where you can find two line for ctrl+v : gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/Paste" and (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ClipboardActions/Paste" "<Control>v") . The problem being the second one.
You can delete the entire file (or try just the line, I use to delete the directory accels without having any problem after), log out and log in again and it should work as expected (need to log out, nautilus -q is not enough). It works for me, even if I have to do it again some times.
this does not work for me

Bug report: emacs style incremental search (Ctrl-S + search

NitroX ignores the incremental search emacs command in the JSP design
view. The eclipse Alt-R command seems to work but it is slow and clunky
compared to the emacs command.

Hi Vikas,
Thank you for reporting this issue. I easily reproduced this.
I have filed this as Bug 12581907 to be fixed for Application Express 4.1.
Thanks again.

Export playlist and edit using excel or other editor

I have a lot of duplicates due to the same songs being downloaded through different albums (i.e. greatest hits, compilations).
I have used a playlist to display all songs and then I displayed the duplicates using the "duplicates" function. I would like to export the playlist to some other app where I can sort and filter (i.e name and then bit rate) so that I can edit the list to include the "keeper" tracks from the multiple duplicates. I would then like to import this playlist back into Itunes so that I can have a playlist called "keeper tracks".
Does anyone know how I Can do this? It seems that the playlist is in a UTF-8 type format and it is not showing as individual rows for each track when I try to use an editor.
Thank you

Theoretically you can use the Export command and read the XML into Excel. But it is far easier to copy and paste...
Display the playlist in iTunes, and make sure all the columns that you care about are present. (If any are missing, enable them by going to View > View Options.) Then Edit > Select All, and Edit > Copy.
Now switch over to Excel and Edit > Paste (or CTRL-V). Everything will show up and will be correctly columnized in Excel. Now you can go to town with sort, filter, etc.

Problem with text written on a image

Hi , I'm new to PSE9.
I have a plain image and I want to write some text on it.
ok but when I do this the text is does not look right. Its not sharp enough.
The definition of the lettersis not brilliant . Also how do you put bullet points on the image
sorry this sounds a bit basic
Thank you for your assistance

For your first question what font face and size are you using?
To answer your second question, refer to my msg#2 at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/607934 where I discuss how to insert special characters using the Windows Character Map.
Here I did a search on "bullet" and selected the round bullet and clicked the Copy button.
Then in PSE I activated the Text tool, clicked to start the text, did a Paste (Edit > Paste, or Ctrl-V) to insert the bullet, typed "line 1" followed by carriage return, then another Paste followed by "line 2".

How can I have 2 different tones in one photo, please?

Hi
I am completely new to this photo package. I love to take photo's and wanted to do something special with a few I took at my brothers wedding.
I'd really like to know, please, if anyone can help me?
I have (for example) a picture of my sister in law holding her flowers. I'd like to leave the flowers in colour, but the rest of the photo in black and white, can I do that? I've tried the few fade options, but it doesnt' do quite what I want.
Also, the weather was awful, and I didnt' get chance to take all the photos I wanted.
I'd like to lift them out of one photo, and add them to the back drop of the venue they got married at, is that possible too?
Thanks so much, I really look forward to hearing from you, any help, greately appreciated.
Best wishes, Clair

Clair, As to you first question, converting to B&W but leaving a portion in color, here are several ways. The first is probably the easiest but I included the rest since they are in my "bag of tricks". In all of the methods, use a soft brush or eraser if you want a soft transition between the color and b&w portions. Method 1 1. Add Hue/Saturation layer, move Saturation slider all the way left to remove color. 2. Set Foreground & Background colors to B&W defaults. 3. Paint with black to reveal color, paint with white to remove color. Tip: type "x" to toggle black & white. Method 2 1. Duplicate Background layer. 2. Remove color: Enhance > Adjust Color > Remove Color Enhance > Adjust Color > Hue/Saturation, move Saturation all the way left. 3. Use Eraser tool to reveal color from Background layer. Method 3 1. Select the area you want to keep the color, make it a new layer. 2. In background layer, Enhance > Adjust Color > Remove Color Enhance > Adjust Color > Hue/Saturation, move Saturation all the way left. Method 4 1. Create a blank layer above the Background layer and set its Blend Mode to Color. 2. Paint with default black or white to remove color. 3. Use Eraser to restore color. Method 5 1. Create blank layer above Background layer and set its Blend Mode to Color. 2. Select the area you want to keep the color, and invert the selection. 3. Fill the selection with default black or white to remove the color, and deselect. 4. To remove excess color paint with default black or white. To remove excess b&w use the Eraser. As to your second question, moving a person from one pic to another, this is also easy to do: 1. Use the various selection tools to select the person. 2. Copy the selection to the clipboard (Edit>Copy, or Ctrl-C). 3. Open the destination pic, and paste from the clipboard (Edit>Paste, or Ctrl-V). This places the person on a new layer with transparent background. 4. Use the Move tool to reposition or resize the person as needed. When resizing, hold down <Shift> while dragging a corner handle; <Shift> preserves the aspect ratio so that the subject is not distorted by the drag. Tip: after you select in step 1, feather the selection 1 or 2 pixels so the pasted person does not look so "pasted".

Layer question???

Hi all,
I am a relatively novice photoshop user and received photoshop elements with the purchase of my Canon DSLR in 2004. Right now I am trying to add another layer to my base layer and i want to add another one of my photos(jpeg file). I am able to add colour layers and all kinds, but i cant seem to add another photo layer. Can someone help me? I know this sounds basic but i cant figure it out... thanks joe.

Joe,
Here are two ways:
1. Open the source picture. Select it by Select > All (or Ctrl-A).
    Copy selection to clipboard by Edit > Copy (or Ctrl-C).
    Open destination picture.
    Paste from clipboard by Edit > Paste (or Ctrl-V).
2. Open both pictures on the desktop.
    Activate the Move tool.
    Drag the source picture onto the destination.
In both cases the new picture will be on its own layer.
Note that if the source picture is smaller than the destination, the excess background on the new layer will be transparent.

AE not rendering dust effects

In my comp I have some gold 'dust' particles and just plain dust particles that are floating around. As I scrub through the movie they are there but when I render there is no dust at all in my scenes.
Any hints on what could be causing this?
Thanks!

Pretty sure you do. I mean, I don't know of any CC subscription that limits you to a version of software. The cool thing about the Creative Cloud model is that you have access to the current version and past versions. (You can get CS6, CC, and CC 2014 all installed on your machine.)

One thing I wasn't sure how to do was copy just the effect properties/settings from the adjustment layer to the black solid I made. I searched on it but I must be missing something.
If you select the effects in the effects panel, edit>copy (or ctrl+c/cmd+c) and then select your new solid layer and edit>paste (or ctrl+v/cmd+v), it should copy and paste all the settings you've adjusted.
