When I write code, I normally copy&paste longer variable names. Or functions I use more than once. Or import statements, where the path remains the same and only the name at the end changes. Disabled copy&paste would make me feel thrown back into the age of typewriters. Let's hope I'm not representative of your user base, which will have to type out every occurrence of every variable and function name, fully qualified. > but disallow them from inserting or removing data to and from said > notebooks via copy/paste.

Make sure to disable menu items that provide access to this feature, or that allow to save the current page as HTML. The notebook edit page is probably not stored in the browser cache, but you might want to double-check that. The people that gave you these requirements are aware that users can still type everything they read into a second computer, or make "screenshots" with a mobile phone? Disabling copy&paste doesn't stop anyone from getting data out of the system. It only makes that slightly more inconvenient, while at the same time compromising convenience for the intended use of the system as well. Folks who want to steal your data won't mind the extra hurdle very much. But folks who have to work with the system on a daily basis will. cheers, Roland -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Jupyter" group.
