hyperdaz : 27/11/01 01:43 PM : Incident created -   WHY DOES THE CUT AND PASTE NOT WORK FROM APPLICATION TO APPLICATION ITS ANNOYING... CUTTING from say Kate editor to Galeon or what ever does not allow... Cutting from gedit works but why should the user be faced with this.. or is it something I have setup wrong reagards, darren

hyperdaz : 27/11/01 02:05 PM : More info provided -   Thanks LineGod but that was just an example... also shift Insert shift delete don't cut and paste.. I love them keys :) whats the best editor to use?? darren
Linegod_7611 : 28/11/01 07:21 AM : Reply received -   I use a console based 'vi' or for graphical 'kedit' or 'vim'. Alot of people swear by joe (console based) or emacs (console and gui) Linux does use the standard 'CTRL-C' (copy), 'CTRL-X' (cut) and 'CTRL-V' (paste). These keys work in every OS I have ever used (Win, Mac, OS/2, Linux, Solaris, etc). You can also highlight and 'middle mouse' (or both left-right mouse) to paste. You can also use 'K/Control Panel/Look and Feel' and then 'Key Bindings' to configure everything to your hearts content. I would, however, try to learn how Linux does it by default first, just in case you work on a different machine, and then switch it to your settings.
