Subject: pasting text in widgets under Mac OS X
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
Does anyone know how to use cut and paste from the operating system on
Mac OS X into text widgets in IDL? For example, I have a text widget
that accepts a wildcard string that is uses for a file search. I'd
like to be able to copy the wildcard string from a Terminal window and
paste it into the text widget. I can't get the widget to accept the
paste. Any clues?
Thanks.

On MacOS X, IDL widgets are all generated using X Windows. I have mine
set up so that either middle-mouse-button, or option-left-button will
paste the clipboard's contents into the currently selected text field
or window. In the X11 Preferences, I have "Emulate three button mouse"
selected for times when I'm just using the trackpad on my laptop and a
3-button mouse isn't available.

Note that *within* X Windows, selecting text automatically puts it on
the clipboard. So you can copy and paste by selecting text and then
option-clicking or middle-clicking in the destination field. Text you
select or cut using Command-C or Command-X from other programs is
available for pasting into X Windows using the same steps.
