[opensuse-kde] mc-edit? konsole? klipper? something else?
Often I need screen output I don't how to get except to copy it from a selection of Konsole output and paste it into a file. The file I paste into I open for edit with Midnight Commander's internal editor. What happens in pasting is a ton of padding with spaces and/or tabs. Here's an example of an unmodified save: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/KDE/upd-123-big41-20130914.txt 18013 bytes Here's what I expected (reduced slightly by removal of a few blank lines; reduced an order of magnitude by removal of most spaces and tabs preceding each line's first or second visible character): http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/KDE/upd-123-big41.txt 7118 bytes Where does all that padding come from ($SUBJECT)? How can I make what's pasted look like what's been copied, meaning no spurious invisible characters, without manual intervention? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Its the difference between LF and LF-CR The extra "padding" characters you get because you are taking the screen image. They are not actually in the data stream. What I would do is use 'tee'. zypper up | tee /tmp/savefile.xtx I just tried it and the savefile, when I edit it with gvim, which would show up padding and spurious characters, looks just like what I had seen on screen. All nice and compact :-) -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3? The only universal constant is change. If a species can not adapt it goes extinct.

mc's internal editor thinks you are typing all that, not pasting

change mc to use vim as its internal editor, then :set paste before pasting -- _|_ _ __|_|_ ._ o| |_(_)(_)|_| ||_)||< | -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Look for something like that and switch it off.
