Make Cntrl-C Work Consistently.

I added to the following discussion.

Here is what I said;

 

I know this is an older thread, but thought I would add that I do not have consistant behavior with the copy/paste function.  I finally think I have discerned some of the differences. On the command/alert window, if you highlight text, and hit Ctrl-C, it does not copy, and the same in the help window.  If you highlight the text, and right-click and then choose "copy", then it will copy the text.

 

Cntl-C is very much an expected feature of a window's based program, and can create problems if it is not there. E.g. you had some code in your clipboard that you had pasted into a code window, but later decided to replace it with a bit of code you copied from the help file using Cntl-C and then Cntl-V.  You might be tempted to think your code now has the new text pasted where the old one was, but it does not not.
