New copy and paste menu items should distinguish between copying objects and
copying text
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CAY-1182
URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-1182
Project: Cayenne
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CayenneModeler GUI
Affects Versions: 3.0M5
Environment: os x 10.5; java 1.5.
Reporter: Robert Zeigler
I had some text that I wanted to copy and paste from one SQLTemplate to
another. After highlighting the text, I went to edit->copy, selected my other
query, placed the cursor, and did edit->paste. To my surprise*, the entirety
of the sql template content (from all adapters that had content registered) was
pasted. Given that copy/paste shortcuts work (well, /almost/ work on OS X, see
CAY-1149) within the text panes, as a user, I would expect the copy/paste menu
items to work as expected. What may be tricky is figuring out the appropriate
context. But, in general, if there is selected text, I would assume that
edit->copy/edit->cut should act on the select text, otherwise, they should work
at the objentity/dbentity/query level.
*to be fair, the "copy" button did say copy /query/, rather than copy text, so
I shoulda known, but... :)
