[archive] Using Ctrl keys to cut and paste

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 08 February 2007]

Is there a way to configure the windows ctrl V and ctrl P keys to cut and paste data running in thin client? We are using version 7.2 and accessing a Linux thin client through a windows workstation.

Thanks for any help.

try...
SET ENVIRONMENT "KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=9990 ^X"
SET ENVIRONMENT "KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=9991 ^C"
SET ENVIRONMENT "KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=9992 ^V"
SET ENVIRONMENT "KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=9993 ^Z"
SET ENVIRONMENT "KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=9994 ^A"

SET EXCEPTION VALUE 9990 TO CUT-SELECTION
SET EXCEPTION VALUE 9991 TO COPY-SELECTION
SET EXCEPTION VALUE 9992 TO PASTE-SELECTION
SET EXCEPTION VALUE 9993 TO UNDO
SET EXCEPTION VALUE 9994 TO SELECT-ALL-SELECTION

you may need to play around with the exception values as you may already be using these values for something else.

As an aside a very very useful tool for copying is "ScreenOCR". This enables you to copy from other areas of the screen - not just the entry fields. Have a look our users have found it very useful at times.

cheers............. Les

Thanks for the Help Les,

The ScreenOCR is something we have been looking for since we went to GUI.

I will try the other suggestions and let the forum know how it works.

Thanks again,
