Re: Copy/Paste/Cut defaults to ctrl + c, v, x as most other software.

 

Thank you!

I just got a bit frustrated when using it today :) The changes you
would like to introduce are exactly the things I started thinking about
as well. I agree on all points!

Hi Kristoffer,

Thank you very much, I have just pushed your patch. I was really close
to implementing it myself, so I am glad you have done it.

Other related changes I would like to introduce (open for discussion):

- Proper naming for copy/duplicate operation (addressed by Fabrizio's
patch, I will simply rebase it and apply Wayne's remarks as it has been
reviewed already)

- Rename constants to match the actions (BLOCK_COPY->BLOCK_DUPLICATE,
BLOCK_SAVE->BLOCK_COPY)

- Remove the toolbar icons for cut/copy/paste. I am not sure if they are
even usable (with exception of Paste button). One cannot select a block
and move the mouse cursor out of the schematic frame to click the
toolbar buttons.

- Add Paste operation in the right-click context menu when clipboard is
not empty.

Regards,
Orson

Hey!

I made the copy/paste/cut functionality work as someone new to the
software might expect. That is, the cut command now actually puts the
block in clipboard and then deletes the block, compared to just deleting
it (wtf)?

They are also bound to the almost universal defaults of ctrl+c/v/x.
