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

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.

[SOLVED] urxvt awkward copy paste behavior

Ok i have set up the copy/paste method for urxvt found here - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rx … _and_Paste
I installed the script from the AUR - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35526
and added the line to ~/.Xdefaults " and ran xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
but for some reason i still can not copy out of urxvt and into another application (e.g. firefox, pidgin, etc)
I am able to copy from urxvt and paste back to urxvt ... I can also copy from firefox and paste to urxvt but not from urxvt to firefox ... i am puzzled.

i just use Ctrl + Shift + C to copy from urxvt and middle mouse click to paste.
and I don't even have that AUR script that you linked to, installed. works out well for me.

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).

Copy and Paste Behaviors

I have to do the same animation to about 30 different objects (The 2D boxes need to rotate 90 degrees on the Y axis) in the project I am doing. Is there a way I can do one animation on one of the boxes and then apply it to the others via a simple copy/paste operation? I can then manually time them by moving the Keyframes in the timeline.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sure. Couple of ways. One would be to open the Keyframe Editor, make sure Show is set to Animated, and then select all the parameters and drag them to the Favorites folder in the Library. Keep the mouse held down and choose to save as one file. You can then simply drag this file onto any other layer in your project to apply the same animation. If you select all your target layers first, you can drag it onto all of them at the same time.

White Balance Copy / Paste Behavior: Absolute or Relative?

This is a question from a prior thread that I think got lost in the shuffle; thought I'd pull it into its own thread.
The question is basically when you copy the White Balance setting from one image and paste it into another, is the pasted setting an absolute value or a relative value?
For example... I import three RAW images, each shot with Auto White Balance.
Image #1 is a gray card and with a WB of 6500K.
Image #2 is a product shot with a WB of 6000K
Image #3 is a product shot with a WB of 6200K
Let's say I adjust the WB in Image #1 to 6400K - an adjustment of -100K from the "as shot" WB.
When I copy those WB settings from Image #1 to Images #2 and #3, will the target images get an absolute value of 6400K? Or an adjustment of -100K?
Would I have:
Image #1 = 6400K
Image #2 = 6400K
Image #3 = 6400K
... or ...
Image #1 = 6400K
Image #2 = 5900K
Image #3 = 6100K

If you do it with Copy and Paste it will be all of them at 6400K
If you do it with the arrows Quick Develop Panel, it will be relative.

Can't copy and paste from Firefox 22.0 anymore other than ctrl c & v

Normally I would select/wrap text in Firefox and right click and choose copy from the top of menu, click and go to Word,Notepad etc. and go to paste but nothing there paste item in menu greyed out.
It works ok ctrl v and c but is frustrating because the built-in function is so much cleaner
*UPDATE - Downloaded Firefox 23.0 Beta1 - problem is gone - works again - Thanks all!!

jimmy-d & Ace42, I think it's unacceptable that you have to suffer thru this annoying bug.
Please download Firefox 21 (the working version before this one):
<br>https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-21.0&os=win&lang=en-US
And continue to use that one until this problem is resolved.
Although I do ask that you guys help me out by telling me exactly what antivirus software you have installed and what version number it is and if you have any other famous/popular programs running in the system tray (the area of little icons to the left of the clock in the taskbar). Like Skype, Advanced System Care 5 from IOBIT software, CCleaner, etc.
Also if you could check to see if any of you have any extensions appearing in the Addons area. To get there, click the Firefox button then '''Help > Troubleshooting Information'''. Then click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste it here to this thread however you can, right-click > Paste or Ctrl+V. Hopefully that will work.
Thanks for your help. I'm a volunteer trying to get people to fix this bug and all the info I can get would really help me out.

Disable paste (ctrl+v) function

Hello,
I would like to know if is possible to disable in sapgui the paste function (ctrl+v).
Thanks in advance,
José Luis.

you can disable this copy and paste action innumber of ways
add a listener to the textfield and consume those event so that it wont propagate to the ui keybindings.
set the action to be null for those keystrokes.
InputMap map = JTextField.getInputMap(WHEN_FOCUSSED);
map.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_V, KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL), null);
or
map.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_V, KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL), "none");
Same for CTRL+C, for defeated the copy action.
Thanks,
Jana

Ctrl V paste as image on the slide in Captivate 4.. problem

I am unable to copy an image from MS Word and paste it (CTRL V) in Captivate 4.
Under "Edit" we see "Paste as Object" instead of "Paste as image" (Ctrl V).
How to set Ctrl V to "Paste as image".
Please help.
Rajan Bhandari

This would seem to indicate that the "image" you are trying to paste from MS Word into Captivate isn't actually a graphic file such as a BMP, PNG, JPG, or GIF.
In all likelihood, the image you're looking at is a drawing object created in MS Word or another MS Office application. If you paste a photograph as a JPG into Word, copy that with Ctrl + C, and then right click on a Captivate 4 slide, you'll see that it allows the Ctrl + V command for paste.
Try copying the "image" from MS Word to MS PowerPoint, then right-click on it and Save as Image. Use that image to insert into Captivate.

30EA2/30EA1 : Selection Behavior on Master-Detail Result Grid

Hi,
Tested on both Win XP and Win 7, SQL Dev with the included jre.
I notice quite annoying behavior on Master-Detail Result Grid.
This happen on either Report with master-detail layout (i.e Active Session from the built-in report), popup describe on several tabs, and objet viewer especially on Table's Partition tab.
Here are the things :
1. Why made the selection on header result cell lose its focus after selecting one?
I understand, that SQL Dev needs to re-query for displaying the detail.
But why not made the selection focus, goes back to the selected (shown by the rectangular yellow line around the cell) header cell ?
2. Point 1 leads to another problem.
In order to copy the cell value, we have to click once again to select the cell value (shown by the rectangular yellow line around the cell) from the master grid and press CTRL + C.
What a waste extra effort here.
Moreover, I noticed some strange thing on object viewer Table - Partition tab.
It is really hard to copy the cell value from this tab, i.e copying the partition name value.
Everytime I press CTRL + C to copy its content, suddenly the cell goes to edit mode, which is read-only of course. CTRL + V to paste seems does not work, like it has nothing in the clipboard to be copied.
And, navigating the cursor from this point would cause the pointer goes to the last character of the cell content, as well as selecting the content using CTRL + Home, is useless.
Is it because there is no detail record on the detail (in this case Subpartition) tab?
However Partition tab on Popup Describe, which supposed to have the same behavior, CTRL + C works just fine.
Is this an expected behavior?

Buntoro

Hi Raghu,
RaghvendraSaboo wrote:
When changing selection in Master grid, the Child grid is repopulated. This also cause the Master grid to lose focus which makes navigating & copying from master requiring to select a cell in it again.
Right ?
Yes. That's right.
I see, you use Child as referred to me as Detail, on which I get the name from Reports (when create User Defined Reports on SQL Dev, there shows Master on the top panel and below is Detail. :-)
If yes, this is the same issue as reported in other thread where executing Statement Runner in worksheet, the worksheet loses the focus & the results grid gets the focus.
The grid has got focus hungry & I am fixing it.Maybe this explains, why there is a small delay before showing the result grid.
I tried to compare from SQL Dev 2.1.1 and 3.0EA1.
3.0EA1 gets a little late (a second maybe) when displaying the result.
For the last item, here are the things :
1. From the Schema Browser (Left Hand Side), expand Tables.
2. Select a partitioned table from the tree, there shown Object Viewer (on Right Hand Side) for that Table. -- I use the term Object Viewer as shown on the Preferences : Automatically Freeze Object Viewer Windows
3. Select Partitions tab
4. Click a cell on Master grid, there you go the losen focus
5. Now, click once again to select
6. Press Ctrl + C
7. It suddenly change to cell's edit mode (of course its read-only cell)
Navigating the cursor from this point would cause the pointer goes to the last character of the cell content, as well as selecting the content using CTRL + Home, is useless
8. Now, go to the worksheet, and press Ctrl + V, nothing happens as if the copied cell doesn't get into the clipboard.

Copy/paste error in Illustrator CC 2014?

Anyone experiencing any copy/paste behavior in AI CC 2014? When I copy objects from one Illustrator file and paste them into another, I get double the objects onto the canvas (from 2, 4, from 3, 6, etc.) ... and I do not have a trembling set of digits that causes my to paste multiple times in a millisecond. This only happens "here and there" BUT often enough to have me asking you all. Thank you.

si-bone,
You may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Changing Default Paste Functionality for the Wipedit Plugin

We have several forms that use the freeform paragraph functionality within the wipedit plugin. We have had issues with users pasing formatted text that contains special characters. We noticed that ctrl+alt+v allows for pasting of unformatted text. Is there an .ini setting that can be used to make the unformatted paste the default behavior all of the time using the standard paste and ctrl+v shortcuts?

We have had all sorts of issues with this as well. I have been unable to find a solution that works as of yet. From my own debugging it seems as if RP is trying to parse the pasted text as logo's, fields etc.... I am looking at potentially using a script w/ set interval to "clean" the clipboard data but this isn't a perfect solution for numerous reasons.
What is happening to your letters when the users paste? Our letters actually become unusable after a plugin save. So I am actually very interested in the answer to this question!

Copy & Paste Functioning Incorrectly

All of sudden, the copy & paste functionality within Dreamweaver has gone crazy. Each time I try to highlight some lines of code to copy to my windows clipboard, the entire file gets selected. Or if I am finally able to get to a couple lines of code selected, once I hit Ctrl + C the entire document gets highlighted and copied to the clipboard.
How do I fix this issue and revert back to normal copy & paste behavior?
All other windows apps work fine. This is only happening in dreamweaver.

Well the only way I have figured to overcome this is to do a "find" on any string immediately after downloading the document. For what ever reason that action relieves my mouse-drag and my directional keys from doing weird things. DW is a really nice tool
