Re: Special Paste
Hi Charles, Your examples are about pasting; > Both Apple's Pages and Microsoft’s Word software have key commands for > pasting text into an existing document to match the current formatting (font). But, your question is about copying; > How do you script to accomplish this when copying text to the clipboard in a > button so the user does not have to use keyboard commands? However, you can manipulate the clipBoardData both when when copying and pasting if you wish. When copying the text, if you want the clipboard to contain unformatted (Plain) text, then use this in a “Copy Unformatted" button: on mouseUp set the clipBoardData["text"] to the selection end mouseUp Or when pasting unformatted text, use this in a “Paste Unformatted” (= “Paste and Match Style or Paste and Match Formatting”) button: on mouseUp put the clipBoardData["text"] into the selection end mouseUp Or if your app has a menu, then your Edit Menu script may look something like this: on menuPick pWhich switch pWhich case "Cut" Cut break case "Copy" Copy break case "Copy Plain Text" set the clipBoardData["text"] to the selection break case "Paste" Paste break case "Paste and Match Style" put the clipBoardData["text"] into the selection break case "Clear" Clear break case "Preferences" go cd "Preferences" break end switch end menuPick By pasting Unformatted Text, the pasted text will take on the style of the text at the selection point. clipBoardData in the Dictionary explains more.

@Stephen. This is really a great stack. TMHO, it should become a 'standard' plugin for LC 8/9 (the 'old' clipboardData-version for LC 6/7).

Re: Special Paste
@Bob. After your answer I read Charles' question again. Probably he asks for the other way: how to match the styled text of the 'paste-target' *in LC*? @Charles. If this is correct, then you could try to insert the clipboardData["text"] or use menu Edit > Paste Unformatted. This has no style and thus inherits the style of the current paste-location (that may be also inherited). If you use or need *Unicode* for pasting you could use a plain-text-key of the rawClipboardData. This requires LC 8 or later and is dependent of the current OS (see dictionary entry to rawClipboardData). ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Special Paste
As far as I can tell there is no way to access the clipboard on mobile? Using clipboardData on iOS throws an error on mobile and the dictionary says both clipboardData and fullClipboardData are not available on mobile?
