I've figured out how to copy text from text blocks (Ctrl + C), but I can't figure out how to paste. (Ctrl + ?)

That would be CTRL + V. Makes perfect sense, right? :rolleyes:

Yup, that's a microsoft standard. Presumably with CUT (ctrl+x) and COPY (ctrl+c) next to one another that's why they went ctrl+v on the paste. It's odd, but once you get used to it...

Thanks, guys. :)

That's not so bad. If you were in Word or Excel, you would have just told it to print.

I wonder why there is no context menu support (that thing you get when you right click in most of a Windows setup).

Because I really don't like popups.

Well, I can understand that, Dan. But I will point out that many people including myself have asked for it.

True...and if I implemented everything that folks asked for, we'd have a royal mess of an app.

I make design decisions during the development of the application. I make them all the time. Some things go in, other things are left out.

This is one of those things which I have made a design decision on. The app does not have popups.

Not everyone will agree with this. That's fine. There are other folks who have publicly stated that they, too, hate popups and like the fact that the app doesn't use them.

I will be making greater use of keyboard shortcuts in v2 as we move forward.....ctrl+c, ctrl+x, ctrl+v will start being a bit more "full functioning". That type of thing.

But I'm not going to be putting in popups.

OK, no popups. Don't know why I didn't think to use CTRL-X and CTRL-V.
