Re: Copy Shortcut

Well I figured out the issue.
When the cursor is on the line number and not in the actual source, Ctrl-C will not copy the highlighted text. When the cursor is in the text and you press Ctrl-C, it copies the highlighted text.

It sure would be nice if Ctrl-C would work when the cursor is moved into the line numbers. When highlighting a block of text with the mouse, from right to left, it drops the cursor into the line number unless you are very careful about stopping the cursor at the position of the 1st character. I don't know about others, but when I copy a block of text anywhere else, it's usually a wave of the mouse for me (not requiring fine manipulation). But, maybe I'm being picky.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Copy Shortcut

I just realized that my RDp has the copy shortcut set as ctl-insert instead of ctl-C. Has it always been like that, or did I somehow accidentally (by way of another shortcut) switch my copy shortcut. I went into Preferences and couldn't find where the setting is to modify the shortcuts. The only time I had gone in there was to make Shift-Ctl-A unique to opening a member.
