Title: Cut & Paste - Scite & Aterm
Post by: clofland on October 13, 2005, 04:56:20 am
Can anyone tell me how to cut from SciTE and paste it into aterm? I can go the other way around, but not from SciTE to aterm.

Seems silly, but I just can't make it work.

Thanks for any input, this would make life so much easier.

Feel free to suggest other text editors too if you want. I just stumbled on SciTE, and it seems cool (although it is slow).

select the text in scite and  click with the middle button (i never rember if it is shift plus click or fn+click  ) to paste in aterm.

editors: emacs!

Tried that, doesn't work.

I never really got into emacs. There is always a time to try again I guess. I always found I had to do too much playing with it to make it "just work" the way lots of other editors did out of the box.

hmm, really?

Select the text, leave it highlighted (do not do Ctrl-C or Ctrl-X do not select anything else) and paste by "clicking" with the left shift pressed (middle button).

It should work (i've just tried it, not from scite but from dillo), it is the standard X way of cutting and pasting.

Yep, it works from dillo, but not from scite.

Exact!

I didn t know that there was an X app with this behaviour.

As a work around you can use the Hacked Xterm I posted
 a few days ago as it supports the clipboard...

started like that fsxterm -fg green -bg black -fn 9x15 -sb
it looks almost like the aterm ofpdaxrom

OK, let's start the Holy War:
editors: Vim!

It's strange that emacs guys don't get it that Vim is the ultimate text editor around.  
In case anybody want to try it: Get it from the unstable feed, Use "vimtutor" to get the basic ideas, use the builtin help to learn more. And finally: Enjoy!

It seems that there was a bug in Scite and that the pdaxrom version has it:

Cool, well at least I know I'm not crazy now.   Who wants to rebuild SciTE?

I actually am fine with vi, but in aterm vi goes nuts. As you edit the lines often get redrawn incorrectly and overlap and you can't see where you are editing, so I went to a GUI editor.

the default vi is provided by busybox and is not vim, so you might want to try vim.

this redraw lines bug is new in this RC btw.

Has it been reported at the pdaxrom site bug list? I didn't realize it was new, since RC11 is my first use of pdaXrom.

I'm not sure how to describe the problem if I report it.
