Not so much of a decision as a dirty hack. > ¹ I think it has to do with the fact that: > 1. A selected text object in dia always has keyboard focus; > and > 2. On top of that, dia always keeps short-cut focus. Exactly. Used to be you could only copy/paste objects, then I added the hack of extra text copy/paste shortcuts since it was a lot easier than fixing the text input system. > PS > I saw a discussion about text objects and focus a few weeks ago, don't > know what > has become of it.

It's getting there. We now have a working splitup between text edit mode and non-text-edit-mode, which allows us to let normal copy-paste work on the text in text edit mode only. Don't expect text selection soon, though. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
