CTRL opens a search bar

Help & Support
1

Hello,

I have just bought Opus, and I must say that I love this program.
This being said, I have to talk about a problem I have.

I often use CTRL+C and CTRL+V, and when I say often, I am far away of the reality (I tend to use it every time).

But when I use CTRL+C, CTRL+X or CTRL+V, I get a search bar at the bottom.

So I wonder:

  • Is this something I configured by error?
  • How can I put again CTRL+V as a paste command and CTRL+C as a copy command?

Have you turned off or edited the default menu bar?

In the Edit menu the Copy, Cut and Paste items should define the Ctrl-C/X/V hotkeys. If you turn off the menu bar, or remove those items from it, then you will need to go to Customize -> Keys and define standalone hotkeys which run the same commands.

Shout if you have trouble doing that or if you haven't modified/removed the default menu.

It happens here too. If text is copied to the Windows clipboard then pressing CTRL+V opens the lister find field and pastes that text into it. If something other than text is copied to the clipboard, then the lister find field is opened but nothing is pasted into it.

I can disable this behavior in customize keys by (oddly enough) adding a CTRL+V paste hotkey, but that still does not allow me to paste anything into a lister by way of CTRL+V. The edit menu paste works normally.

This appears to be a bug to me.

That doesn't happen for me. What's your Ctrl-V hotkey look like? Here's mine:

You're right Leo, when I quickly created my CTRL+V hotkey, I missed filling in the function field (doh) so my quick test gave errant results.

The bottom line is before I did not have a properly configured CTRL+V hotkey defined (I don't know where it went, but it was gone) and without it the results Ralendil_ and I were seeing do happen.

By the way Ralendil_ the function for the CTRL+V hotkey should be CLIPBOARD PASTE

I created it also and now it works

I have found why CTRL+a key was displaying the search bar... cause I had activated the search when you type keys...
So it was not linked to the CTRL but to the keys pressed^^

You can activate that option without it interfering with hotkeys. I have it turned on but Ctrl-A, Ctrl-V etc. all work as expected (so long as the search bar isn't already visible when I press them).

yes, I have noticed it, thanks

However, without creating a hotkey for CTRL+C or CTRL+V when you press CTRL+C (or CTRL+V) it display auto the search bar.

Well, I am happy I solved this problem.

Now I have my problem with Winace to try to solve, but I guess here it can't be solved by a manipulation. But this is an another thread (that I will open :wink:)
