Meanwhile if you want to use another font you could type it in manually.

I found that the files as listed by Windows in that section you were copying from are not always correct eg Arial Bold has true name Arialbd.ttf or was it Arialbld.ttf. You can find the correct .ttf file name under properties for the file you want to select.

Post by: RobinGravel on August 06, 2021, 07:53:59 pm: I put new fonts to another directory.

That's why I need to copy/paste the directory to IDE.

That's why I need to copy/paste the directory to IDE.

And you say you are or were able to paste a string into the IDE Dialog for Options > Display > Filename

Most curious to me because I can't paste a word into the IDE Search Dialog. I can highlight a word and get that in the dialog but that's it.

Can anyone paste anything into any of QB64 IDE Dialogs?

Post by: bplus on August 07, 2021, 11:25:45 am: Doesn't work for me, not even with a directory copy highlighted in IDE main section.

The search works only if string is highlighted in IDE main section.

Post by: FellippeHeitor on August 07, 2021, 11:45:09 am: Please update your system and let me know if the issue persists.
Title: Re: Copy & Paste not always working
Post by: FellippeHeitor on August 07, 2021, 12:08:31 pm: In the meantime you can edit the settings file manually, it's in the internal folder (internal/config.ini).

Post by: TempodiBasic on August 07, 2021, 05:59:24 pm: Hi
on my old Toshiba satellite with Win10 and QB64 version 1.5 git 3043116 I can paste any text before copied into clipboard in all the dialogboxes of QB64 that need text as input. This same experience is not possible for those dialogboxes that need a digit as input ( Go To Line, Backup/Undo etc...)

Post by: FellippeHeitor on August 07, 2021, 07:05:48 pm: Please everyone, confirm to me that you, like everyone else who got this working, are trying to paste with CTRL+V, not SHIFT+INSERT.

Oh ha! Ctrl+V works, I was trying with right mouse.
Title: Re: Copy & Paste not always working
Post by: FellippeHeitor on August 07, 2021, 07:19:57 pm: Great. Problem solved.

Please everyone, in dialogs use:
- CTRL+C to copy.
- CTRL+X to cut.
- CTRL+V to paste.

And thanks for reporting it. It shall be fixed in an upcoming release.
Title: Re: Copy & Paste not always working
Post by: RobinGravel on August 07, 2021, 07:20:57 pm: It works with CTRL+V.

I always use Shift+Insert since original Qbasic.
