Re: [Zim-wiki] Copy-pasing verbatim text pastes unwanted newline at the end

This happens when selecting individual lines as well, not only multiple
lines. And I select until the end of the line with Shift+End. Pressing
Shift+Right arrow to unselect the last newline actually unselects the
last character, so the selection doesn't contain the newline char at the
end of the line. But the pasted text contains a newline.

Thanks.

Doesn't work like that on Linux.
What happens if you add a space at the end of the line, then unselect 
the space ?


Or alternately, select the lines you want by placing the cursor at the 
beginning of the line, using the down arrow to select the line(s) 
wanted, then backspacing to the last caracter of the line ?

(Just in case the shift-end code was still present when you used it.)

Or again, using only the mouse to select the text, without using shift-end ?

Hi.

I'm using Zim 0.59 on Windows 7.

So I write some text over multiple lines and then I format it as
Verbatim with CTRL+T. All good so far. The problem I'm experiencing is
when I copy-paste whole lines from the Verbatim formatted text. The
pasted text contains an additional newline character at the end. This is
very annoying (and possibly dangerous) when pasting in a terminal: the
newline causes the pasted text to be run immediately without the
possibility of editing it before.

I think this is a bug, when I copy the text I don't copy the newline at
the end of the line because I don't move the cursor at the beginning of
the next line.

I hope you understood what I mean, it's kind of hard to explain...

Thanks,

When you select, is the last line highlighted to the end of the line ?
If so, you have selected the newline.

To avoid selecting the last newline, when selecting hold the shift key 
and press the left arrow.
The highlight should then terminate at the end of the text instead of 
end of line, indicating that the newline is no longer selected.


Conversely, if you want to ensure that the newline is selected, 
sometimes one must press the right arrow so that the entire line is 
highlighted.


Note that many other applications show the cursor at the beginning of 
the next line when the newline is selected.
Personnally, I think Zim's display is more coherent, although it can be 
confusing at first.
