Re: Copying code into an email / word doc - without the current line highlighted?

Charles,

Of course you could turn off the Highlight in LPEX preferences...

With my trifocals, I love the contrast, why my young dot-net co-workers laugh at my current line highlight...

They don't turn that option on. Which you can control in your LPEX preferences...

But, with my bad eyes, I love it!

I find it sort of strange that as a default it copies with colors. When I cut & past from other IDE, it copies it as plain text. Oh well, I guess that is how it was designed...

I guess I will give the standard reply: "You could create a RFE..." <Evil-Bear-Poke>

PS. I turn on Accessibility features, Enable thick Caret, use characters to show changes in Vertical ruler, etc...

I *HATE* the Light blue selection menus in windows-10. In fact, that is my only real complain about Windows 10. You are supposed to be able have a "consistent" interface with windows. And yet, they make separate themes for Office and other applications. Welcome to the new minimum bland colors for the younger generation. Oh well, I will adapt...

Ken,

Yeah, I've done that...was hoping there was some way to turn it off the coping of the highlighting in RDi.

Hi,

I often cut & paste code and past into an email to share...

To remove the current highlighting using MS Outlook, I select the blue
line, and select the icon for the "Text Highlight Color" ICON and
select none! And the blue outline is gone!
(office-2016)

Optionally, I might paste the code into NotePad++/NotePad, which
pastes it without the colors. And then copy and paste from there...

Make sure when you copy that your cursor ends up at the beginning of
the next line. Usually you would want to copy the entire row anyway, right?

The only time I see this is when doing a block copy of text.

BTW - what's irritating is that (after marking the text) your cursor
has to be in the source (and not before the source line numbers) in
order to execute a copy.

A lot of times I use the SHIFT+arrow keys to mark rows of text to copy.

Matt,

Yeah the next line trick works...but is a pain.

Text editor trick works, except as I said...I want the syntax coloring.

Always ensure your cursor is on the next line past the set you want
to copy and not selecting anything.

Another way is to use a text editor to lose the font formatting, etc.
and then repast into word or emails.


Thanks, Matt

I don't recall this being so hard before...

Then again, it's been a while since I wanted to copy source code
from RDi into a word doc or an email.

I want to copy to include the syntax coloring. And it does, however
the "current line" (ie. last line of the block) highlighting also
comes across. Which results in a bright blue line that really can't
even be read.

Is there some way to prevent that current line highlighting from
being copied?

Thanks!
Charles
