HT1216 copy-pasting text in Unix

Hello.  I am trying to do shift-insert to paste text from clip board.  Since insert can be emulated using fn-return on a mac keyboard, I do shift-fn-return.  But nothing happens.  I'm doing this in a VNC session.  Any ideas?  Is my problem that the shift-fn-return is not going through VNC?  Or am I just using the wrong key combinations? TIA.

This is kinda funny because I had a post about the same issue last week(not being able to copy\paste) and apple forums took my post down. I am not sure if they were upset because we are all complaining about not having this feature...but it seems like a necessity they might have forgotten.
However, I did request (on their feedback site) that this feature be included in the next update...which is what I recommend you doing too!

  • How can I copy/paste text from one page to another?

    I feel like I am taking crazy pills... is there really no way to copy a text box (or group) from one page to another while creating books in Aperture 3?  Lets say I have my entire book laid out and I want to add one paragraph at the end on one page which will push text and photos down a half page or so... in most programs for the last decade or so they added really cool functionality... cut/paste...  It seems like the apple developers are aware of it because they are in the context menus but they don't work on text, only photo boxes.  Additionally, you can copy/paste text but it erases all formatting.
    Seriously, am I missing something?  I have trouble believing that they can't include this function.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Update... it seems to only happen with text boxes which I create.  So when I try an existing theme I can cut/copy/paste just fine, but in that same theme if you edit the layout and add a new text box, I can't copy paste it anywhere... the options are in the menu but nothing happens.
    Thoughts? Solutions?

  • How to copy/paste texts/images from webpages in iBooks Author?

    Hi,
    I want to copy/paste text/image contents from webpages with iBooks Author, somehow images can't be copied, only texts can be copied with copy/paste editing. Wonder if there are any ways to include images with simple copy/paste?
    Tried to search iBooks Author help, could not find answers. Please help.
    Thanks

    Perhaps the people who spent a lot of time and money to produce the websites.....and who own copyright ...don't want anybody using their work without payment or credits. Have you contacted the websites owners to ask permission? 
    IF any person(s)  use anything from websites without permission apart from being to lazy to email to request permission....could face a legal action if and when the sites owners fins out. 
    There is another her misconception that "free" websites and content on "social media" such as the dreaded FaceBook....can be used without consequence. Almost all "free" websites are common licence material - which requires permission and those who give permission do so only for personal or none profit reproduction.
    i Use a blocking script on my websites which apart from preventing a right click...those who try are whisked off  my website to the the UK copyright website page which explains my rights! 
    You may wish to check out your iBooks contract with Apple and read their warnings on use of others copyright material. 
    You could ..and should contact the websites...explain what you want to use and why....and ask them if they can supply media.

  • Copy/Paste text between Photoshop & illustrator CC not keeping formatting

    Hi, before when I copied text over from photoshop to illustrator it kept the text formatting. For example the font, font size, color.
    Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost and everything is placed as whatever the current AI text setting is.
    HOWEVER, pasting from AI to PS WORKS as it should. All font/text formatting is maintained.
    Is this a bug or is there a setting for this that I just never knew about?

    Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost
    Seems to work for me on Photoshop 14.0 and Mac OS 10.8.4.

  • Keyboard Works OK - But what happened to Copy/Paste Text?

    Ability to Copy/Paste Text is a MUST if you want to search the Internet...

    It's a must if you want to be able to maintain lists on your phone and freely/easily re-org them at will.
    Unless they gave us a drag-able checklist like Apple's insanely great Notes & collapsible checklist/outliner feature from the Newton (see <<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton#Notes">this>) then I'd be happy.

    When I copy/paste text to an ipages empty document can does it only show the first page of what I copied?

    You want to use word processing mode. I suggest you ask your question in the Pages forum and include information about what you are copying. Off the top of my head I can't come up with any reason you'd see this in WP mode.   https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages

  • RoboHelp Crashes when I Copy & Paste Text then Amend the Pasted Text

    I am copying text from one RoboHelp topic then pasting it into another RoboHelp topic (within the same project). If I then try to make a change to the pasted text RoboHelp crashes. This happens every single time so at least it is consistant!
    Any suggestions/solutions?

    Bit weird but it seems to be playing ball now!
    I copy/pasted text in the HTML editor and it works fine. Went back to the Wisiwig editor and tried it again, and it didn't crash.
    Really weird, I must have consistently crashed the sytem over 20 times this morning, so no idea why it chooses to work now!
    Thanks anyway, if it happens again I will reinstall RoboHelp and see if that is a long term cure.
    Cheers,
    Nicola

  • Unable to copy & paste text in Godaddy email

    I've don't use Safari, but wasn't able to recreate the issue just now. But in Firefox, my primary browser, this has become a major issue over the last few months with using Godaddy webmail. It wasn't as noticeable an issue at first, but now it's with every email. I've also deleted all cookies and cache files in my history.
    I frequently use templates to compose new emails to clients. If I try to copy text from a template to paste into an email, none or only part of the text will actually paste. If I try to paste the text again, the same thing happens.
    Sometimes, if I try to paste text, a big white space will appear with only part of the text. Other times the text will copy in a completely random spot in the email, such as the very top or bottom.
    I've found that there are sometimes dead zones in the Compose Email window, and if I can space far enough away from that a bad spot, it'll then allow ALL the text I've copied to be pasted correctly. I will then try and delete all the extra space. Sometimes this works, other times it will then also delete the pasted text. This then seems to be some kind of formatting issue, but the Goddady Browser Tool says that there aren't any compatibility issues with the Firefox.
    This process is now doubling and tripling the time it takes to compose emails that I already have templates created for. Please help!!

    I've tried that also (that's mainly how I cut and paste), and it still happens. When I called godaddy and explained that it looked like a formatting issue, the rep said he'd never heard of this being an issue on their end.
    I then read online that others had similar issues using godaddy webmail with firefox.
    I've switched to safari for now, but I'd love to still be able to email from firefox.

  • CR duplication when Copy/Pasting text from a JTextArea

    I have a typical scenario of having text in a JTextArea. When I select some of that text and try to paste it either to an external text editor or even in the same JTextArea, I am getting extra line spaces in the screen.
    For example, if I have the following text:
    <a id=1>
       <b/>
    </a>When I copy paste it, I get:
    <a id=1>
       <b/>
    </a>When I looked to see what characters were being used for the CR, I see "\r\n". This is the standard line.seperator for Windows OS which is fine. When I save this text to a file using the Java I/O libraries, it is fine (no extra lines). But when copy/pasting it prints extra lines.
    Has anyone had similar problems?

    Has anyone had similar problems? No. How are you doing the copy/paste? Did you write your own routines or are you using the default Actions. By default, when a Document is loaded it will convert the "\r\n" end of line string to "\n" and store the single character in the Document. When you use the getText(..) method the enod of line string will be expanded to "\r\n" on a Windows system, but this should not happen in a copy/paste operation. How do you add data to your text area?
    This section from the Swing tutorial on "Text Component Features" has a working example of using copy/paste:

  • Copy/paste text from Word doc or PDF to Robohelp

    Bolded words, indentions, paragraphs, line spacing, font, and
    text size amongst other things are lost when I do a simple
    copy/paste... Any way to relieve this?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I'd like to answer this in a slightly different way..
    It's a good idea to format anything you paste into RH in RH
    using paragraph styles etc. Hardcoded formatting won't be under
    stylesheet control which is very bad news.
    In fact I generally paste stuff from a word doc into notepad
    first to remove any formatting soI have "clean" text to begin with.
    That way you ensure consistency when styles are updated etc
    as well maintaining consistency with what's already there.

  • Problems copy & paste text from PDF to InDesign CS5

    Hey guys
    Today, I tried copying and pasting text from a PDF I received from my client, into a InDesign CS5 doc, and the text came out was just random numbers and punctuations.
    I've tried exporting Word / RTF & TXT file from the PDF and yet they still come out random. I'm not sure if it's just how the PDF was made, or there is something wrong with my CS5.
    I'm on Snow Leopard, CS5 Premium, Acrobat Pro 9 & also Acrobat Reader X.
    Any ideas why?

    It's the PDF.
    Usually, you can copy text out of a PDF, but there is no guarantee *at all*. Older software used to take shortcuts to subset fonts: first character it encountered got coded as #1, the next as #2, etc. etc. If you do a search & replace of each of the nonsense characters, you'll slowly see the original text appearing (thst's not as simple as it sounds, though).
    A similar "problem" is that sometimes spaces don't get copied (there is no need for a "Space Character" in a PDF), and that you cannot copy contiguous lines of text as a single paragraph. All of it is because a PDF is not intended nor designed to be re-used after creation.
    If you really need this text and don't want to type it in, try to get hold of the original file.
