[opensuse] Libreoffice 5 - copy and paste via mouse
Hi Anyone know how to get copy and paste to work by highlighting text in a document with mouse and pasting it by clicking scroll wheel/middle button as the rest of the apps on the plasma desktop do? Firefox can be random at this too. regards Ian opensuse Tumbleweed KDE 4.14.10 Libreoffice Version: 5.0.2.2 (i managed to get this version number copied via the mouse from the Libreoffice "About" dialog) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

regards yes, but its easier and quicker with the mouse, one of the benefits of a linux desktop being able to use the mouse in this way -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

*sometime* when an application was both opened and just updated some parts of the app do not respond correctly, all is working again when restarting the app. May be it's what happened (or not :-() jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

For clarification, a little history or explanation. There are two clipboards for copy-paste in Linux. One is the traditional X method, which only supports plain text, using only the mouse. Select with left click, paste with middle button. Then there is a more modern clipboard, similar to the MS-Windows clipboard: highlight with keyboard or mouse, then copy-paste with keyboard or menu. It depends on the involved applications, what they support, but typically you can paste images, tables, formatted text... sometimes it is possible to choose paste format. But this depends on what each application supports. And recently, we have clipboard managers in several desktops. But as far as I know, there is no defined standard in Linux for this type of copy-paste (contrary to Windows, which has it since version 3 at least). The problem you are seeing is that you are mixing both types of clipboards: some times it works, then after an update it doesn't. Or it works if you find the right combination of mouse and keyboard (try holding the shift key while you manipulate the mouse, for instance). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Select/paste has never worked *within* openoffice/libreoffice. It only works to/from another application and openoffice/libreoffice. I wish it did too. The copy buffer works fine, just not the select buffer (highlight/middle-mouse paste) I remember reading why years ago, but have long since forgotten... -- David C.

Man, you guys are smoking crack! I open libre Version: 4.1.6.2, type Hello world!<return> <return> <return> Select "Hello World!" with the mouse, then move to the next line down and I can click the "middle-mouse" until the cows come home and there isn't isn't anything pasted (nowhere, no how...)

It can't work in Windows, as that paste method is a Linux standard. Or rather, an 'X' standard. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

What I've seen is that if you mark some text, and then just middle click somewhere in the same document. it will gracefully paste the text there. BUT: as soon as you un-select that text again, for example by left-clicking in the document to place the cursor to the desired location for insertion, nothing will be pasted. So it seems that the middle mouse button paste feature is bound to the text actually being selected in writer. Regards, Andreas -- Time flies like an arrow.

Yes, absolutely. The text to be pasted needs to be highlighted the instant you click middle mouse. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Well, that's not necessarily so. Actually, the usual behavior is that the text will stay in the X11 clipboard until some other text is selected. Simply placing the cursor somewhere else would un-select the text, but keep the clipboard populated. This is for example the way Kwrite behaves. In my eyes this makes Libreoffice's X11 clipboard handling a little non-standard, and actually similar to how MS Excel interacts with the Windows clipboard in respect to copying cells. -- Cahn's Axiom: When all else fails, read the instructions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

B I N G O !! We have a winner! That was it all along. I select, then position the cursor with left-click then try to middle-mouse paste (like I do in every other app), but if the text is no longer selection - no paste.

It gets even better / more confusing: X11 - has a internal "mousebuffer" for "middle-mouse-button-paste", but Wayland - has no such buffer without extra software. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
