How to observe Copy&Paste ?( not just AddToHierarchy)

Hello!
I need to observe Copy&Paste event.
The approach with Doc Observer attached ( protocol IID_IHIERARCHY_DOCUMENT) gives me ability to catch
theChange = kNewPageItemCmdBoss and AddToHierarchyCmdBoss.
My problem is that this events occur also on another use cases then Copy&Paste ( for example - just create Frame).
But i need to perform some custom action ONLY if Copy&Paste ( of Frames) occur.
( actually, i need Paste event )
How can i do this ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

No, there isn't any way to hook these events.
And even if you could, would it be for ALL copy/paste operations, only for some, for certainly data types? I would recommend that you look at simply hooking the standard OS clipboard/scrap operations.

How to hook copy/paste events?

I'm trying to have copy/paste (and maybe cut) trigger a method that I have written. I have looked into it and so far I have not found an easy way (such as with open/close/save events).
I saw some stuff involving AVDocSelectionPasteProc and AVDocSelectionCopyProc but it looks like I would need to create a selection server and then register these with that. I'm not quite sure how to go about doing that. I don't want to replace what happens during copy/paste events, just have them trigger a message to be sent out. Is there an easier way of doing this, or how should I go about doing it?
Thanks

How can i Copy paste from e-mail to Notebook or textbook

How can i Copy pasta from some Content of e-mail to the notepad or textbook or word?

hold your finger down in the body of the mail - the part you want to copy. a blue box will comeup and offer to 'select/select all' or something like that. choose the appropriate choice. If you only want part of it that bubble will have two handles that allow you to drag out the selection box.
then hold your finger down again and another bubble will come up offering to cut/copy the words. choose copy
then navigate to your notes app (not sure about the textbook, depends on whether or not it support it) and hold your finger down in an empty text area. you'll get another blue bubble offering to paste it. choose that and the words should appear. then save as appropriate.

How can I copy&paste a keyframe?

How can I copy&paste a keyframe?
Imagine : I decide, after having animated a scene, to freeze un object for a few seconds.
I can, of course, create a new keyframe and digit the same size and position (but it takes a while).
isn't there a simpler way : copy&paste a keyframe?

How do you copy & paste a shape that is part of a "combined shape" to a new layer?

How do you copy & paste a shape that is part of a "combined shape" to a new layer? For instance, I have a combined shape of 2 rectangles (not merged) and I want a copy of one of those rectangles as a new shape layer. I know I can duplicate the entire layer and delete the shape(s) I don't need - but I was wondering if there was an easier, more straightforward solution.

Copy Paste Not Always Available

So how how do you copy paste from (say) one e-mail to another e-mail? I can copy the desired text, but when I navigate to a new e-mail (or Docs to Go) once I place my cursor I can not find the ability (icon) to paste. I would love a keyboard shortcut if one existed.

After reading a LOT of the replies here and some more experimentation I have solutions for the problem when trying to paste into an e-mail and Documents to Go:
For e-mails - WORK AROUND - write some text in the new e-mail and THEN press and hold the cursor and the paste icon will appear. I could not get the paste icon to appear until there was some existing text in the body of the e-mail.
For Documents to Go: As documented elsewhere, position the icon and HOLD down for two seconds and then the paste icon will appear.
That's all for now.......

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting?

How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting? For example, if I copy a sentence from a website and paste it on text editing program, it copies all the formatting as well. How can I turn that off?

There is an app called "No Formatting" in the App Store. It is simple and works perfectly - it strips formatting from paste (Ctr-V). I needed it for Word and Excel, which don't have keyboard shortcuts for this. It can be toggled on and off from the Menu Bar.

I would like to know how to enable Copy & Paste in Firefox. Ihave followed the insstructions but it still will not work. Can you help?

I have added the lines to my Firefox user.js file. Restarted firesox and I still can't copy & paste. I want to be able to copy and paste to my WP blog at firefox. The thing that I am not sure about is what the instructions mean when it says to: Change the url "http://www.mozilla.org" to where you want to enable this function.
It seems that i can copy from Firefox But I can't Copy. :-( Can you help

Get rid of that '''user.js''' file if that's all you're using it for and install this extension. It's a lot easier to set those policies thru this extension.<br />

How can I copy, paste and edit a phone number?

If I copy a phone number then paste it, how can I edit the pasted number?
For example, my phone has an Irish SIM. If I am in the UK and copy a UK phone number from an email signature it will typically be in local format i.e. 0208 456 7890. I need to dial 00 44 208 456 7890. I cannot find a way to delete the zero prefix and add the country code.

This one kills me as well - editing phone numbers in the keypad/dialer is a pretty basic function, I could never fathom why it didn't exist. We need to be able to place a cursor, and copy/paste part-numbers! I'm constantly trying to paste just an area code, or an extension, or insert the country code, and I should not need to create a new number in the contact directory to do it!
Currently I do the copy/paste editing in Notes, and then paste the corrected number into the dialer - pointless and inefficient, and contrary to the Apple philosophy of making the user experience easy and seamless...

Cannot Drag anything, copy + paste not working

My shiny new macbook was working great until this morning, when things went rather awry.
I have no idea why, but I cannot copy and paste any text (either using apple-c or the edit menu) and I am unable to drag anything such as files or safari interface components. (I somehow managed to get rid of the address bar and I cannot drag it back)
Does anyone have any idea why it would be doing this?
I've just noticed that copy and paste works in TextMate, but not in camino or safari

I have this issue as well and have put a thread here with Apple Support Communities
I can copy/paste on the iMac's Hard Hrive to any folder with no restictions. If I try to copy/paste to an outside source i.e. USB – DVDRW – external HDD or NAS, it does not give the PASTE option in the drop down menu. If I drag and drop a file, I get a circle with the line through it when placed in the folder and does not copy/paste. I think that’s an error or stop signal.
In Mavericks I can copy/paste to a mapped drive on my NAS, only if I first right click on NAS Drive icon and go to ‘Get-Info’ and in the General area’s Tick the ‘Unlock’ box. As soon as I have finished pasting, the lock box ticks again by it's self.
If I right click on the USB and go to ‘Get-Info’, in the General area I only get a Share Folder Tick box and not an Unlock Tick box. Share does not allow paste to activate in the drop-down menu
How do we permanently Unlock Mavericks’ paste, Apple?
Thank you
