Copy Text
Use the Copy Text function (in the pop-up menu for
a text object) to copy text to the clipboard. If you have selected a resource or a resource label (the text associated with a resource), the resource label text is copied.
If you select free text, the free text is copied.
Use the shortcut key sequence for your platform (such as Ctrl+V for Windows) to paste the copied text to any text entry field, such as the entry field in the
Locate Resource window.
Notes to UNIX users:
- Using this function in UNIX requires an intermediate step. Paste the text first to a text editor and then copy the text (using the mouse) from there to the desired location. In UNIX, using the mouse accesses a system clipboard and Java(tm) accesses an application clipboard. This intermediate step ensures that the proper text is transferred between the two.
- When you close the application, any text saved to the application clipboard is not available the next time you open the application.
