I use my mouse with my left hand and thus rely on the Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert keyboard shortcuts for copying and pasting. I'm not sure if something has changed recently (or I've stuffed something up!) but these shortcuts no longer work.
I think it's something to do with the Insert key - pressing it seems to toggle file selections (although I don't appear to have any keyboard shortcuts set up for it).
I tried adding new shortcuts. This worked for file copying/pasting but then I can't paste text into, for example, fields in the Find panel as it seems to think I'm wanting to paste into the list itself.
Yes, I would really like to see that SHIFT + INSERT behaves like CTRL + V, because I am used to using this keyboard combination.
Is it possible to configure somehow?
You can configure them for the file display under Settings > Customize Toolbars > Keys.
(But it will cause the Find panel to act as described above as a side effect, since it will pass the hotkey through to the file display. We may change this for those particular keys, but need to look at it in more detail.)
I do use AutoHotkey for other purposes, but I don't believe it should be necessary in this case given (a) it's a standard Windows keyboard shortcut, and (b) it used to work in DOpus (only stopped working ~Oct 2016).
Can the devs confirm if this is on the roadmap somewhere? Again, we're talking about standard global Windows shortcuts that I can use happily in every other application.
If I don't add them as custom shortcuts then they don't work at all.
If they are added as custom shortcuts then, yes, the Find Panel was problematic.
I can't be 100% certain that's the only issue as I didn't stick with the custom shortcuts for long (it was easier to just remember "don't use your normal copy/paste shortcuts when using Dopus" than "don't use these shortcuts specifically for the Find panel").
I'm trying in 12.24 with the current default hotkeys, and Shift+Insert pastes text into the Tools > Find Files panel without any issues for me.
You can filter the Customize / Keys list by hotkey to see if anything is overriding the Insert key. This should be the only key by default, which only affects the standalone image viewer and shouldn't cause problems:
(Make sure the [Z] icon next to the Filter field at the bottom is selected, then click on the Filter field and push the Insert key.)
A fix for this will be in the next beta. Sorry it took us so long.
We're also adding Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert to the default hotkeys for the file display and viewer pane, although that will only affect new configs (or existing ones if you reset your toolbars to defaults). If you don't want to reset your toolbars, just edit the hotkey on the Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste menu items as before, and it'll no longer get in the way when things like the Find panel are active.
(Can't add Ctrl+Delete as a default alternative to Ctrl-X since it already does delete bypassing the recycle bin, but that's true in File Explorer as well, so I assume people are used to it. It can be edited if you want, though.)
