Hi,
since I switched to Geany as my main code editor, I feel there are two other minor issues:
Search copy on Linux
- do a text search in a file
- keep the search dialog open
- select one or more lines dragging the mouse with left button pressed
- close the search dialog
- paste the selected text by pressing the central mouse button
- nothing happens
This works for me on current Git.
Sorry, I forgot one piece:
-1. select a word with the mouse double click, 0. copy it with CTRL+C 1. do a text search in a file 2. keep the search dialog open 3. select one or more lines dragging the mouse with left button pressed 4. close the search dialog 5. paste the selected text by pressing the central mouse button 6. the first word (selected with CTRL+C) is pasted instead of that selected with the mouse
Copy $ vars on Linux
- double click on a $ var, like $varname
- paste by pressing the central mouse button
- the $ is not pasted but only the "varname" part
Only varname is selected so thats all that is pasted. This is a function of the definition of what is a word to be selected by the double click.
Yes, it's clear to me that the $ is not selected, I'm asking why.
What I mean (and all KDE-based editors behave like that) is that the $ sign IS part of the (variable) word, and I normally want to copy that too.
Thanks.
