Right-click cut and paste

Maybe I didn't search long enough, but I haven't found this answer yet.
In Illustrator, is it possible to right/ctrl/command-click, then copy or paste, like any other program (even in the Adobe CS repertoire)? Even if it is a plug-in, script, or hack...I'll take it.
Thanks!

i dont think so, save yourself some time and (ctrl/c) (cmd/c) to copyand (cmd/v) to paste. also, (cmd/x) is the shorcut to cut.

  • Mouse right click copy and paste issue

    No matter if I use the trackpad or any mouse if I go to copy & paste something to the end of a sentence it will backspace to the next word. I can hit SPACE and seperate it and it will still backspace into the last word like this. Example. Hello my name is TomI live in the US.
    C&P'd . (I live in the US) as you can see the m and I are together.
    I can space 8-10 spaces and it will backup every time. Gets annoying when you have a lot of C&P to do.

    @ IffatAsyraff, Not sure how long but it's more pronouned now that I'm having to C&P a lot of my work.
    @LexSchellings, I used the space bar not the arrows.
    @ LowLuster, No, It does that on it's own.(highlights)
    I added space with the SPACE BAR to show that whether I space once or 10 times it backs it up.
    I know the video is crappy because I was holding my phone while recoding and when it shows me highlighting the sentence I was attempting to rease it to show how it C&P's but the last part is what it does.

  • How can I cut and past on imac without a left and right click on mouse?

    Trouble cut and pasting on an imac since mouse has no right and left clicks...how can I highlight something and cut and paste somewhere else?

    Holding the Mouse button down and dragging across text should highlight it, and Command-C Command-V should allow you to copy/paste.

  • Right clicking on open tab yields only 'cut and paste' option.

    My (new) computer has some sort of touch control that randomly changes font size. MSM has a tool icon that restores font size, Firefox doesn't. Right clicking on empty tab yields only the cut and paste option.

    If the zoom level changes on a page, you can reset it to the default using either:
    * Ctrl+0 (that's a zero)
    * View menu > Zoom > Reset
    ''(If you are using the orange Firefox button and compact two-column menu, you can display the classic View menu by tapping either the Alt or F10 keys.)''
    On a conventional mouse, you can zoom text by holding down the Ctrl key and using the scroll wheel (forward=larger, backward=smaller). I'm not sure how your touch device works, but if it changes the zoom level without having to hold down Ctrl or another key, that's not very convenient.
    Now, regarding the empty tab problem, how are you opening the tab? Have you noticed problems with your right-click context menus in other situations?

  • Who else does not have cut and paste, or shift click anymore on Lion?

    I can't cut and paste anything, and shift click doesn't work like it normally should. Shift click is acting like command shift insead of selecting everything between. Please, no ******** answers.

    You don't have your numbers lock on or a shift key jammed or something do you? I have been using Lion since it was released and have never had nor seen an issue with the keyboard as yet. That's not to say you are not having one. Is it happening in particular programs? Have you installed any third party programs along the line like TypeIt4Me or such?

    Great tip Stephen!!
    I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
    Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

  • When I click on an email link on a website it doesn't open my entourage mail, I have to cut and paste the email address in

    When I am looking at a website and it says contact us with an email address, in the past when I click on this my entourage 'new mail' page would open so I could contact them, but know that doesn't happen and I have to cut and paste the email address into entourage manually, sometime this is not possible becuase the website doesn't actually give the email address just a 'click here' option

  • The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?

    I have recently switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro.
    I have a large number of documents and photographs on a multiterrabite external drive, backed up on a second multiterrabite external drive.
    Both external drives are formatted for MacIntosh. This has been verified by agents at an Apple store and also at Best Buy in two different cities.
    This is the problem:
    The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?
    Also, the MacBook Pro will not allow me to rename multiple documents or photographs. I can click-and-rename a single one, but this is impossibly time consuming. I can batch-rename in iPhoto, but when I transfer the photographs to the external drive, the rename does not transfer.
    I’m reduced to using my wife’s Toshiba to cut-and-past, rename, and transfer documents. It works perfectly. Is there any way to do this on the MacBook Pro?
    Thanks!

    No, this is a philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple believes that it's dangerous to cut a file in case the user never pastes it; in that case the file is lost. Microsoft seems to not have this problem (if I remember Windows correctly) because they don't delete the originating file if it's cut but never pasted.
    Even though Macs have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, philosophically Macs have traditionally been mouse-first. This applies to file copy operations. In your case, what a Mac user would do is open the source window, open the destination window (on your second drive), and then Command-drag the selected files from the source to destination window. This is because a normal drag would leave the originals behind, while adding the Command modifier key tells OS X that this is a Move, not a Copy, so don't leave the originals behind.
    (In addition there are different rules for drag-copying within the same volume or between different volumes. If you drag between two folders on the same volume, the files are moved. If you drag between different volumes, the files are copied unless you hold down Command to delete the copies on the source volume.)

    Two problems in this case. First, batch file renaming is not built into OS X unless you build something with Automator. However, there are many utilities that can do batch file renaming which you can find at macupdate.com or on the App Store. Since I work with media I often batch rename using one of the media managers I have lying around like Media Pro or Adobe Bridge (comes with Photoshop).
    iPhoto is a database front end designed to shield the file system from the consumer and let them concentrate on creativity and sharing. As such it is often a poor choice for managing files directly. When you "transferred the photographs" chances are you moved the originals, not the ones iPhoto edited which are stored in a hidden folder.

    There will not be a way to do it exactly like Windows. As described above, there are ways to do it "the Mac way." If it is possible to remove judgment on which way is "better" you might find the Mac way to be acceptable, but of course sometimes we simply prefer what we're used to.

  • How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13?  When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position.  Could not 'cut and paste'.

    I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
    For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
    For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
    For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
    Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that  you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
    Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
    video compression = MPEG1
    audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
    Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
    Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
    With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
    But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
    I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    To be continued.

  • Cut and paste on left click mouse doesn't work & manage search engine choices non-existtant

    I can no longer cut and paste from any website with the mouse. I have also lost the search engine choices (and the engine itself)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == new version of firefox was updated to 3.6.6

    Sounds like at least the Mouse is going out, open Sustem Preferences>Mouse, change the primary button to the right one, does the right button now work like he left one should?
    Just thinking, it could jast as likely be the KB, maybe the control key stuck? Does the Mouse work if you disconnect the KB?

  • How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

    How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

    You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

  • When I include a web link in my Hotmail email, it isn't blue. My recipients have to 'cut and paste' my links to use them. With Explorer the links are blue and folks just 'click' on them. Is there a setting in Firefox to allow links to be 'clickable'?

    Is there a setting to change to make included links in my emails true links instead of 'cut and paste' links?

  • Pages iPad Cut and Paste not working right in latest update

    First -- everything on my iPad is up to date with iOS and Pages update...and everything has been rebooted and works just fine...
    BUT -- new problem...anytime I select a paragraph and cut and paste, it places it in a text box, resizes it, and inserts this text box into the document where I paste. That then remains as it's own section and not a part of the larger document.
    Did something go wrong? Did I miss some setting to turn off? I don't want anything I copy and paste to be put in its own text box, merely to paste it into the same document in a different place.
    What went wrong here?....

    If you want to paste text in with other text, you need the cursor/caret to be in text when you paste (keyboard should be up on screen). Sounds like you do not have the keyboard up, so it's creating a new text box for you.

  • Why can't i cut and paste

    Downloaded the new Mountain Lion and now I can't cut and paste. Tried the keyboard shortcuts and the drop down menu with no luck. Also can't accomplish this from right clicking. Any ideas?

    Hi elg07,
    Welcome to the Safari Discussions Forum. It's interesting you should mention that.
    I did a quick 'drop-down' of the Edit menu, and those facilities are greyed out, but as soon as I highlighted the subject matter of your post, lo and behold, the cut & paste facilities appeared in black, so it is possible to copy & paste, provided you run the cursor over the item or passage you wish to copy (mine highlights in yellow), you should be able to copy and paste.
    Hope this helps.
