KDE4: Konqueror: No copy, paste, etc?

Edit: .. what in the hell is going on? It seemed to be fixed for some bizarre reason after installing konq-plugins.. Then randomly goes away again. Then comes back again. Removing konq-plugins doesn't reproduce it back to it's original no-cut-or-paste state.
Hey guys,
This is probably a simple problem, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I have just about no hair left on my head from switching over to this (again..).
Simply, the copy/paste/etc functions are greyed out on -anything- in konqueror. Everything. However, it has a menu "Copy to.." that appears to work fine..
Btw, they appear to work fine in dolphin, but I very much dislike dolphin.
Wtf?
Ideas?

I would suggest filing a bug report - if you haven't done so already - or reinstalling kdebase. They seem to work fine on my PC.
Out of curiosity, what's so bad about Dolphin? It's developed by the same people who develop Konqueror, and has the option of opening multiple, Konqueror-style tabs and splitting the current view (but only into 2 windows - which is all most people need). Beginning with 4.2, Ark's service menus will also be included, so people will be able to easily (un)archive/copy/cut/move/delete/etc. files.
* I do not use split view on anything, because for me it's extremely counterproductive to have half as much space to see what I'm doing and where I'm going than just open the two destinations in separate tabs/windows and mess with more scrolling and go around my mental map of the folder layout. The way I am, it actually takes more time, not less, to use.
* It is no where remotely close to as configurable as konqueror
* I can't get the layout to be like I've used for years. Kind of close, but no cigar:
There is no apparent way to put a location bar (which I want to be the usual editable kind as opposed to only editable when you click next to it -- -always-.) into the same bar as the back/fwd etc. I can only have a separate, space-wasting navigation bar. I don't see 'location' anywhere in the toolbar options, or a way to get rid of the navigation bar. I need to do both. I dont see a point in wasting so much space to the right of both the main icons and the location bar when you could combine them.
* I don't understand the point of yet another file browser when konqueror beats it hands down and is essentially loaded into the system whether or not it's used on my setup.
* Dolphin is not a web browser, which I used konqueror for occasionally.
* I don't think most of my service menus work with it. Though this I have not determined for sure, because of the above.
I could probably think of more, but these are the most obvious reasons. I just don't like it. It feels like a nerfed nautilus to me.
.... but in other news, Dolphin solved a bug I was having in konqueror somehow that I was about to post. Basically, the icons were huge. When I would resize them and their previews in the config utility, it would work, but then reset itself upon re-launching konqueror. I used the identical utility in dolphin to change its icon sizes, and magically they are working correctly in konqueror now on every launch. Weird. Maybe loading dolphin to check whether copy/paste works there also fixed copy/paste in konq somehow, as it just did with these icons, and installing konq-plugins was just a coincidence at the same time. Within these few minutes that the icons did not save size settings, I have done nothing but play with dolphin and install konq-plugins. Very bizarre.
Kde4 is so buggy.. =/ I'd post bug reports on these things, but it doesn't do much good when I can't reproduce the problem or have certainty about what solved the issue in the first place.

Some general ?'s re: urxvt, copy/paste, etc.

I started using urxvt, and I just checked the manpage and what I believe is the section on keybindings was quite confusing for me. I am used to gnome-terminal's ctrl+alt+c/v for copy/paste, and just want to double check a few things.
1. In urxvt, highlight with either left/right mouse and which kb button/shortcut will copy? And what is the paste command in urxvt (above gnome-terminal combo doesn't work I just realized).
2. Doing it this way, I can only paste with middle mouse button, ctrl+v in FF for example doesn't paste it, and I am confused about why?
3. Can someone give me a fairly basic command/rundown for configuring/viewing keybindings in urxvt? I have checked the manpage like I said and it was a bit baffling.
Thanks folks I really want to learn it, appreciate any help to get me in the right direction with some basics

colbert wrote:Is it just separate clipboards and that's how it is?
Yes. As a matter of fact, clipboard managers such as Glipper allow for collection of copied items based on whether the items come from the Primary selection (highlight & middleclick) or the Clipboard (CTL+C & CTL+V, etc.).
See my post here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 26#p279226
(especially the link at the bottom) for more detailed info about the copy and paste implementation in X11.
By the way, I recently began using rxvt-unicode, and two things that I find require some adjustment are the use of the Primary selection for copy / paste (without the option for using the Clipboard) and no drag and drop support.
Because of urxvt's use of the Primary clipboard, I had to enable that feature in Glipper (which I normally have disabled), and it certainly leads to a lot of junk filling up Glipper's copy / paste list. Every time you highlight something whether you intended to copy and paste it or not, the item ends up in the list making it more difficult to cull out the items you really intended to re-use for copy & paste operations.
I guess everything has its pros and cons, and I'm still on the fence about whether the pros of urxvt outweigh the cons. I'm leaning towards keeping it for now.
Edit: grammar

Copy/Paste etc.

Hi. One thing I miss from my blackberry (other than my favorite Brick game!!) is the ability to cut and paste etc. Is there a way to do this on the iphone? Is there an iphone book that is any good? Thanks. Tommy

No there is not a copy and paste function on the iphone.
If you would like to leave feedback about the iphone, this link might help.

[SOLVED] Custom Copy & Paste Keyboard Shortcuts in Gnome3

I'm looking for a way to make custom keyboard shortcuts in for the copy and paste functions. Specifically, I want F1 to be Copy. F2 to be Paste.
(In the future, I'd love to be able to do more, like Find, Cut, adding in frequently used text phrases via one keyboard combo ... in ANY application.)
Why? Because I use a different keyboard layout, Dvorak. I'm sure other layouts have similar problems. The Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V are all of a sudden two handed operations. Slows me down. I need a non-mouse (I'm aware of the middle-click option), one handed operation solution.
There's a solution I found for Windows, AutoHotkey. Lets me do this. No Linux alternative as far as I was able to find. The options in the System Settings for Keyboard shortcuts do not include the Copy, Paste, etc functions. I also tried xclip. Works for copy. Just not paste. I can't get it to paste into any X app. I've used every variation of xclip -o I could. It appears that xclip isn't made for this. Nor do any of the other clipboard-like packages appear to be for it either.
Any suggestions?

Found a solution!
xdotool
Nothing else needed. I just set up custom keyboard shortcuts in the Gnome3 system settings that utilize this command. "xdotool key ctrl+v" will paste. I have that set to F2. "xdotool key ctrl+c" set to F1.
It can type preset text as well, which I use a lot at work (not so much at home). " xdotool type "Hello world!" "

The mouse right-click (to copy-paste) menu does not work correctly.

The mouse right-click copy-paste menu often fails in Firefox 4. If I highlight something to copy and then use the mouse to right-click on it, the menu will appear down and to the right. Second, the highlighted command (i.e. copy, paste, etc) will be two steps beneath the mouse pointer. Third, if one chooses "copy" for example, your highlighted text might or might not (usually Not) be copied. This works as expected (perfectly) on this Firefox site, but fails on all other web pages. Note: This is a "company computer" where I am not an administrator.

I am the admin on my PC, and I am not able to select the copy page after I have highlighted an area. I can if a link select copy link, but in short no more copy paste feature on this new Firefox.

What happened to the 'arrow' in the corner of highlighted text on a web page that allowed you to instantly search google etc without having to copy & paste - in FFv4 ?

What happened to the 'arrow' in the corner of highlighted text on a web page that allowed you to instantly search google etc without having to copy & paste - in FFv4 ?

Ah right - many thanks ...
Cant see the Google toolbar extension anywhere on FFv4
Cant see it on the 'extensions page either ?
Do you have a link for it at all.
Thanks

Can't shown chinese text when copy & paste data from server to Outlook, Word & notepad, etc.( Office 2013)

Can't shown chinese text when copy & paste data from server to Outlook, Word & notepad, etc.( Office 2013)

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, when you copy & paste a data from server to Outlook, word, notepad, then you do not receive the Chinese text.
For Outlook, please follow these steps: -
Close and reopen Outlook in your western locale (or switch the windows system to your Western locale if you changed that),
Manually change the message from Western to Chinese encoding, which you can do in all versions up to Outlook 2007.
If you want to stay in your Chinese locale in Outlook 2007, then:
After you hit reply, go to the Option tab > More Options.
In the Encoding drop-down menu, select the Chinese encoding you are working in (Not the encoding used by the person who will receive the message)
Note:
To set the Chinese locale in all versions up to 2007 the controls are under.
Tools > Options. In Outlook 2010 File tab > Options > Advanced > International options.
Unicode (UTF-8)
is a good setting for multilingual users.
Check the
Auto select 2007)/ Automatically select (2010) encoding box.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

How do you keep strokes, etc, from changing when copying & pasting?

I am sure there is a simple solution to this problem, but I cannot figure it out and could use some help. I have a graphic in one InDesign document (ID CS4 - using Windows XP Pro) and when I try to copy and paste it into another ID doc, it completely changes the strokes and fills. It usually does the opposite of what is in the graphic (this happens with every graphic I try this with). So if I have a circle that is stroke only, when I copy and paste it, it comes in with no stroke and a fill. I have to use these graphics between documents frequently and some of them are complicated, making it difficult to spend the time correcting this problem. When I tried adding the graphic to a library, it did the same thing. It also changed it when I moved one page to another document. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening and how to make it stop?
Thanks,
GS

Thanks for the reply. While it wasn't the preferences, I did find a link on the link you included in your answer that led me to the solution.
The problem was conflicting object styles. The solution was to load the object style from the doc that included the graphic into the doc that I wanted to place the graphic in. Then when I copy & paste, the graphic comes in perfectly. The only problem is if there are other graphics in that doc, but now that I know there is an issue with object styles, I can pay attention to it as I design.
I can always count on the forum for great answers!

Vector COPY/PASTE..wmf..svg..emf etc

Hello:)
Im looking for a component to integrate in an application to copy/paste or import/export vectors between programs.
If theres someone that can assist me, will be great.
Is it possible that someone has the file structure /source code for emf/wmf ??
Thanks for any consideration
[email protected]
Please email directis you can really assist me.

Of cause it is, but still I think it's a bug.
I don't think it should work this way. First, Include SVG Code to me is not equal to Replace copied objects by SVG Code. When I copy an object from an Illustrator file and then try to paste it back into an Illustrator file, why should I get code instead? Second, that code was not pasted every time. Just about every second or third time. Sometimes it worked with a single object, sometimes to get that SVG code I had to copy/paste multiple objects, while pasting single objects worked as expected. So, to me it looks like a bug.
And anyway, even if this function is supposed to replace objects with code, it should not be ON by default, not all of Illustrator users are developers. My estimate, most of us are not, actually.

Getting rid of Multiple Spaces in Code View (after Copying/Pasting)

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to get rid of multiple spaces between words in Dreamweaver CS3's code view.
Oftentimes, when I copy/paste text from elsewhere (e-mail, website, etc), the Dreamweaver code shows up with multiple spaces. Normally, that wouldn't be problem -- except that my blog's auto-tag plug-in doesn't detect selected phrases when there are multiple spaces between words, e.g., it'll detect "Swiss Alps" in a post but not "Swiss Alps" (notice the extra space between words in the second phrase).
If at all possible, I'd like to be able to keep Dreamweaver's text formatting option when I copy and paste, as that means I don't need to manually put words in bold/italics.So, is there a way to keep that option while getting rid of all the extra spacing between words?
By the way, I'm familiar with Wordpress CSS, but not with Dreamweaver CSS. Not sure if there's any difference.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I make it a point to never paste formatted text into HTML pages. Formatted text from MS Office usually contains a variety of junk you don't want and I don't have that much faith in MS Word code removal tools.
Bold and Italics from Word or Outlook should be changed to current HTML tags of <strong> for bold and <em> or emphasis for italics anyway. Also see Logical Tags here:
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/logical.html
Find and replace is good for removing whitespace if you know how to do it correctly. Make backup copies just in case things go wrong. http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/whitespace.asp

Copy-Paste From Other Apps (like PPT 2004) Into CS5 Broken ? - OS 10.6.3

Hi,
New Mac, so to avoid problems went for the new post-Snow Leopard Photoshop CS5. Oops.
Copy-Paste From Other Apps Into CS5
Pasting images/photos from Powerpoint 2004 to CS5, I experienced the exact problem posted slightly off topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names." It was not answered and is quoted here:
---"I am using CS5 Photoshop and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still works with other macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint but it cuts the pictures in half and does not know what the res. of the image is. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the image res. is also not preserved."---
Besides that, I also found copy-paste from a digital camera photo.jpg from Preview to CS5 doesn't respect the resolution either. Directly opening the photo into PS CS5, fine.
From the earliest PS, always was able to copy any image to clipboard, have a new document dialog box come up pre-filled with correct original WxH pixels, original resolution, color mode, etc., and just paste into the new document - perfect fit (even the oddball PPT 576 ppi). Now a shift and cut-off. Don't have PPT 2008 to test pasting from there.
I have also found that a similar but less severe image cut off happens when copy-paste from PPT -> Preview, or -> TextEdit, or -> drag and drop picture clipping.
Opening Image File in CS5
Even an original 300 dpi tiff file wrongly went to 72 ppi etc. when opened directly into CS5. Converted the file to a jpeg in Preview - that jpeg file could be opened into CS5 correctly, reconverted the jpeg to TIFF in Preview, still opened OK (not counting loss of image quality). Still couldn't copy paste from either document into CS5 correctly. One difference I noticed in the converted files was that more information was available in the Preview file info. Maybe that made the difference in opening the file correctly.
I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks to Chris for the explanation of the dueling clipboards.
It's still frustrating, but since I still have a CS2 license from the dead G4 the current Mac replaced, I can try that (wonder if they can coexist), or maybe I could use an older Mac for this particular situation.
As for the .tif file, it was generated by a Mac OS 8.5 era image capture program that we are forced to use, and the analysis was that the app does not properly encode the TIFF tags to acceptable standards. Preview 5.0.2 just guessed right from the little information that was included - but it didn't work when tried with Preview 3.0.9 on an OS 10.4 Mac. So this was a unique situation.

How to copy/paste as unformatted text in Acrobat 9 Pro text field?

Hi all,
I'm having difficulty copying/pasting text from another source as unformatted text in an interactive PDF text field in Acrobat 9 Pro. I have specified the font size, colour and typeface for the text field. However, when I copy and paste text, the text retains its formatting. Strangely enough, this isn't an issue when I type out the text.
I'm really not keen on typing out all the text for all the text fields because:
there's alot of it
waste of my time
potentially introducing typos
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Trish

Thanks for your suggestion! That actually did work pretty well.
I had set up all the fields as non-rich text, cut and pasted the text into the fields, and then change the fields back to rich text to format them (ie superscript, subscript etc).
Unfortunately, now I'm faced with another problem.
I won't be able to add more "unformatted" text later on easily. It appears that to do so, I would have to change the fields to non-rich text which wipes out all the formatting I've already applied.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Trish

--Any way to copy/paste clips from one project to another w/o LOSING TRANSITIONS...??

I have CS5...
I'm trying to speed up render/export time. I have multiple edited video's in about 15 different projects.
I had a couple video's within one project and rendered the work area - consisting of 4 video's...then exported. It was much faster than just going to straight exporting so I wanted to do the same with all the other video's.
Pull everything into one project - render first - and export from there but premiere doesn't copy transitions from one project to another. Is there any way to get it to copy/paste transitions??
Thanks

exported regularly and took 2hrs 50min's for each video....then rendered and exported - took prob around 2hrs total - including rendering/exporting.
That seems unlikely. If anything, the separate render/export should take slightly longer (though not that much) as you may also have to transcode the preview files (depending on your preview codec) during the render, as well as decode them for the export. Besides adding an additional layer of compression, it also adds time. Here's what I mean.
Export only:
1. Decode original media
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the export codec of choice.
Render (1-3) /Export (4-5)
1. Decode original media.
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the Preview codec (if anything less than Uncompressed, this adds time and potentially degrades quality)
4. Decode the rendered frame (if not Uncompressed, which adds time)
5. Transcode that (decoded) render frame to the export codec of choice.
So you see, the render first process has two extra steps which add time, one of which could also introduce additional artifacts (depending on your preview codec).

Need help with copy/paste in CSS

Hey,
I am 3 lessons into a Dreamweaver class so that is the extent of my knowledge. For some reason when I copy/paste code from one CSS sheet to another the code is present etc. but when I go back into the HTML file to view the changes, nothing happened. I verified the coding and they are all correct etc. When I cut and paste new code into an HTML file, it works no problem so why is it not accepting the changes in the CSS? It is not even happening when I copy and paste an image. The image has text with it and rules set up but when I copy/paste , the rules don't apply and it has to be reformatted etc. I have even taken the code and manually typed it into the CSS and still nothing. I am beyond stumped with this.
Can anyone please shed some light on this? Thanks!!

copy/paste code from one CSS sheet to another the code is present
So, you confirm that the code you copied is now present in the alternate CSS file, right?
but when I go back into the HTML file to view the changes, nothing happened.
To understand this we would need to see a) the code that you pasted into the original CSS file, and b) the HTML on the page. Can you paste those two snippets into a reply here?
The remainder of your post suggests to me that you are pasting HTML into a CSS file. You do know that is not going to work, right?
