Copy and paste in a snippet window

Post by Silver »

Hi...

I don't know if this is a problem, or if the program is set up for this type of action, but I like to copy and paste...

When I open up a new snippet to save some code I wrote in WeBuilder, and try to paste the code in the snippet window, it won't allow me to paste. I have to retype the whole thing into the snippet. I cannot even use the programs edit feature.

Is there a way to copy and paste for the snippet windows? It seems so redundant and time consumming to write it and make sure it's working correctly, then have to retype the whole thing again when I want to save it as a snippet...

Thanks in advance.

I paste into snippets all the time. Can you describe the steps you're taking?

When I click and open a new snippet, or even a edit snippet, and use my mouse to right click, nothing happens. The dialogue box that the mouses right click use's does not appear.

I cannot use WeBuilder's edit / paste feature when a snippet is open, as the snippet window has focus, and I get a beep when I try that method.

I know I posted another copy paste problem concerning highlighting and trying to paste. A user was kind enough to give me some hotkey's to try.. thankfully that works a charm in snippet.

I am not used to using short cut keys... used the mouse for everything or the file buttons on the window top.

But as for the mouse, can you copy and paste in a snippet using the mouse key?

Use Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste :wink:
