Title: Stupid Copy/paste Question
Post by: Glaive on May 07, 2006, 03:50:51 am
I'm sorry if this question sounds stupid, but i've searched for an answer for a while and haven't found it.
Is there a copy/paste combination in pdaxrom (like ctrl+c/ctrl+v)?

exactly ctrl+c / ctrl+v
obviously ctrl (and alt) are the one you choose (by default, Calendar and Addresses).

Keep in mind that copy&paste implementation strictly depends on the software in which you are trying to use the feature. So, if you have, for example, a desktop manager and a file explorer uniform in protocols (or better, managed by the same software, like ROX) you can expect an easy copy&paste between the two. But if ROX implements a custom copy&paste protocol, you can bet on the fact you won't be able to copy&paste between it and other software. Anyway, what you can do is try to discover effectiveness in different cases.

You must consider, though, that in GNULinux and similar OS is quite normal having the possibility to copy and paste only if the app you copied from is left open. If you copy some test in Firefox, and close it before pasting, the copied text will be lost

bye

I haven't used pdaXrom in a while be from what I remember you just have to select the text in the terminal then middle click with your mouse or shift click with your stylus to paste. Hope that helps.

alternatively, you can select and presse ctrl+shift+C and ctrl+shift+V, respectively
