Explain the copy / paste of confusion

I don't understand the command and paste operation using the shortcut command + C and command + V and command + X does not work.  Maybe it's not supposed to?

When I'm on the desktop I can click on a file, then press command-C and it copies the file to the Clipboard. Fine.

So I want to put it in another folder on the desktop, if I click on this folder ONCE. I then press command + V.

The file from the Clipboard is now copied to the desktop, not in the folder I clicked on and thought has been selected.

To get the file to the folder on the desktop I clicked ONCE, I have to click TWICE instead and actually open it before proceeding with the command + V.

I do not understand this operation. I thought clicking on it once, chosen and this is where my file should have been copied to.  Can you explain?

In addition, the command + X not work on Mac.  Previously on a PC, I would select a file, do a Ctrl + X, go to a destination folder and do a Ctrl + V and the file has been moved. I didn't have to go back and delete as a copy and paste and remove it. This does not work on a Mac?

Open the folder that you want to paste in. Cmd + X does not cut (in the finder).

  • How to use the copy paste

    I would use the copy/paste feature to copy some text from my file in Word for my web site (as an administrator).
    I faund some information in Firefox, but I wasn't able to follow. I'm not a programmer or a system in English. I'm just an oridinary user.

    As a general rule, you should be able to stick by using one of three methods provided by the browser:

    • CTRL + v
    • the orange Firefox button > edit > paste or classic menu Edition > paste
    • Right click > paste

    However, if the editor has a small button of dough, which can be blocked by security restrictions. I'm not sure it's interesting to try to make these buttons work (as I think you found your question).

  • Y at - he shortcut keyboard to take a screenshot and at the same time put in the copy/paste buffer

    My question: is it keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot and simultaneously place the content in the copy/paste buffer, rather than a file?

    If not, is there a shortcut miss me.

    My current approach is Cmd-Shift-3 or Cmd + Shift + 4, take the screenshot, open in preview, select all, copy, return to remove Word, paste, the screenshot file, then repeat. There must be a more efficient way to work.

    Thank you

  • Suggestion: It's about the COPY PASTE function. It is possible to apply multiple copy and paste feature uses publishers or any application of MS?

    Suggestion: It's about the COPY PASTE function. It is possible to apply multiple copy and paste feature uses publishers or any application of MS? For example, I need to copy the 4 lines of text and want to paste in 4 different applications. First line on the 1st application, 2' nd on the other and so on. With this I can choose 1st line and COPY 1 copy, nd line 2' COPY 2 and so on. And while pasting, I can choose the necessary text to PASTE 1,2,3 or 4.
    This feature takes really where people have to work with text editors in their daily lives and find these scenarios quite often.
    I have no idea if this feature is already encapsulated in the MS Editors, so if it's already there kindly let me know.

    Thank you.

  • Size in the "copy / paste".

    Yesterday, I had a problem that was solved by the "forum."   I had a person in a weddind with closed eyes.  I wanted to open so I lused lasso tool [that the person explained] and copied and pasted the eyes closed and refined areas.  NOW I need to do it on another picture, BUT the eye out HUGE when pasted.  I snap photos while they are of equal size, and all of a sudden when stuck it are almost a 4 x 6... I need help from someone.  And once again thanks to all Dan Heary

    <email deleted>

    If it's too big just use edit-> free transform to the layer containing the new smaller eyes.

    In addition, you can not put your email address like that on a public forum, unless of course you like to spam.

  • Persistent data in the copy/paste

    I have what I think it's a very simple problem I had a bit of difficulty to solve. I have a few persistent data added to kFrameListBoss that is not survive a copy and paste. Paste a picture containing my in a new document entitled results in the new framework with default values. I looked at the example of BasicPersistInterface and read by all relevant parts of the documentation for the SDK, I could find, but I don't see anything that indicates a special action that must be taken to ensure that data are copy/paste correctly.

    What might be missing?

    I doubt that kFrameListBoss.

    You can add persistent data on kDrawablePageItemBoss?

    I think that kFrameListBoss is recreated by the dough.

    Hi Amit,

    Welcome to OTN.

    You disable the control keys and right mouse click on the text entry using javascript and the client listener.

    For ex.

            
              
              
              
                function disableCtrlKey(e) {
                  if (!e) {
            var e = window.event;
        }
                  characterCode = e.getKeyCode();
                  if (characterCode == 17 ) alert('Control Keys are not allowed');
                  else event.cancel();
    
                }
                            function disableContextMenu(e) {
                  if (!e) {
            var e = window.event;
        }
                  alert('Cannot invoke context menu');
                  e.cancel();
                }
    
              
            
    

    Will give the user a warning when they use the CTRL / right mouse click on the text field.

    But what happens if the user selects the browser-> copy edit and modify-> menu Paste?

  • error 0 x 80070052 at the end of the copy/paste

    I have created a full backup (?) on an external drive (F) IOMEGA since January 09 weekly.
    I use 'COMPUTER' that shows drives C & f. I put my cursor on C and click on & select COPY.
    then I put my cursor on F, click on and select PASTE. procedure shows then copy files from C to F, while indicating how long remains of progress.
    the last 2 times, I get the error above at the end of the operation. time message indicates 10 seconds or less remaining.  more information shows zero (0) bytes remaining.  file is created on drive F, and I can rename it. What is hapenning?
    I use a Dell desktop with vista premium computer. I also installed CARBONITE online backup (but I'm not online) which I have NOT disabled. nothing else is in use during the backup.

    randneal,
    The error you see is an error initializing, usually caused by insufficient disk space.  Or it can be caused by corrupted system files.  The best thing to do is to run the disk on drive f. Manager and let him find and repair errors on this drive.  Go to start > right click on computer and select "manage.  If prompted to provide a password, and then click Disk Management, click on continue.  Right-click on the F drive, select Properties, and select Tools > error checking.  If this does not prevent the error messages after return and we do know and we will continue to help you.  It is possible that we have to move or rename files.

  • Why to the can't 'Shared VMs' does not allow to share folders with the host and why the copy/paste does not work on them? :-((

    I want to put in place a "build mini-server' for our team. Since VMware Player is not taken in charge more I had to use VMware Workstation, and with some success, I put things up. But now more and more surface of trouble!

    To enable auto-start for the virtual machines, they must obviously be "shared." But it looks like, with this, the nuisance that these virtual machines cannot share folders more with the host. And also, it seems that copy and paste does not work with these "shared VMs.

    Is there a work around to get these features also works with 'shared VMs?

    It is VERY annoying and tedious to always have to these VMs to shuttle between shared and non-shared mode just to be able to transfer data or new versions of code for them!

    I duplicated (I tried ctrl + d and dropdown menu two) a composition, so there should be two distinct, but they both link to the same original composition, so I don't really understand why this doesn't work (or I misunderstood something). How can I duplicate?

  • Why I have to insert the RESUME of someone else in my profile to change my settings to copy paste?

    I want to just use the copy/paste with my mouse.
    Why you don't get just a gimbal in Firefox?
    Why should I enter the resume of someone else in my user.js file?
    It makes even LESS sense.

    For Firefox:

       Quit Firefox. If you have Quick Launch running (in Windows, an icon in the toolbar), quit that too.
       Find your Firefox profile directory.
       Open the user.js file from that directory in a text editor. If there's no user.js file, create one.
       Add these lines to user.js:
    
      [edit: removed personal information]
    

    Note: Preference is site as specific Protocol. For example:

    user_pref ("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.mozilla.org")

    is it not the same thing as:

    user_pref ("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "https://www.mozilla.org")

    This is because the first uses the HTTP protocol, while the second uses the HTTPS protocol.

    If you want to allow more than one URL to access to the paste operation, separate the URL by a space. For example:

    user_pref ("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites",

    "https://www.mozilla.org https://developer.mozilla.org")

    Hey woodenuknow

    I found this page you were talking about with instructions to put someone of another recovery in your user.js file. This page has been hacked by someone who wants to stir up trouble. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm trying to find someone to fix this page and delete take it back.

    And for anyone of another reading, "Reset Firefox" will not solve this problem. It is a problem that happens on some sites using some text editors.

    And I wondered where one of these sites gave you the link to instructions pirate user.js pasting error page that you got?

    On the WHMCS, Guru, FreshDesk, ActivCollab, Vworker sites and independent, I am not able to register accounts with each of them. But for a site that gives the error message, I'll try to make an account. As I would like to see what this error message. I think that society has done a good job doing that b/c of many sites does give any kind of warning or error for the problem of copy / paste, so I would like to see how they have implemented. Thank you.
