Description of problem: Ctrl+Ins / Shift + Ins shortcuts doesnt work with clipfile. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mc-4.8.3-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start mcedit. 2. Make a MC text selection (i.e. via Shift + arrows). 3. Try copy to clipfile (Ctrl + Ins) and paste from clipfile (Shift + Ins). Actual results: It doesn't work. The Ctrl + Ins does nothing and the Shift + Ins seems to paste primary selection instead of clipfile. Expected results: Ctrl + Ins stores the MC text selection into clipfile, the Shift + Ins pastes it back. Additional info: It works correctly when invoked directly from menu, i.e. F9->Edit->Copy to clipfile or F9->Edit->Paste from clipfile, but the hotkeys suggested in menu doesn't work. This really slows down the work when sharing the larger text among multiple mcedit instances (Ctrl + f / Shift + F5 still works there, but they require one more press of enter key). Tested in gnome-terminal, xterm and urxvt, none works.
Try in plain Linux terminal (without X-server) - it works for me there. As far I remember MC it always work the same manner.
Thanks for info, it works for me from the text console. But it should work the same way under X (or at least it should work sane way, e.g. use system clipboard for both operation).
I think graphical terminal emulation just does not pass into run applications in it key combinations which they handle itself (or may handle). You may use system clipboard over MC just use capability of terminal. For example in Konsole you may select text with hold Shift key and then copy it. Meantime with that way you got other troubles like copying characters indicate tabs and spaces, on past text in mcedit it will very ugly indented and so on... But it more than nothing. So, if it possible, I also willing that mc integration will be implemented in sane way.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'.
