I was going to reply to Andre and Pierre earlier but I think the subsequent posts should make them feel very lucky indeed, although I had to laugh at Pierre's reference to 'so long as I don't...'
Which brings me to Tereza's comments about 'knowing when it's going to happen' On 9/26/06, Trevor DeVore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm still investigating what is going on and trying to reproduce this in a simple example stack but haven't been able to yet.
For me it's most likely when I have two or more stacks open and I'm copying and pasting code/text from one to the other. The 'other' stack though doesn't necessarily have to be 'under development' but can be revDoc or one of the many handy utilities floating around this list. Which of course means making a single example stack may never be possible:-( When scripting, I can usually 'reset' by changing the tool mode, from browse to select or vica versa, which logically has no effect for script editing yet 99% of the time I get the shortcut keys back. ....Ah, and a great big light bulb just illuminated over my head, for a work around. For a very very long time I've been wanting to feed pdf files into my rev stack. These files are mono-spaced ASCII text (capitals only) which for reasons I can't fathom, my company saves as pdf. So I have been labouriously manually opening the files, selecting the text and pasting it into a field in my stack - slooooow. I have looked at conversion options, but they are either free and error prone, or expensive so I'm not interested. Anyway, somewhere in the glitz of the move to OSX I completely missed the fact that TextEdit can open pdf files. Brilliant, my prayers answered. I wrote an Automator work flow, which is called from my rev script, which opens the pdf file in TextEdit, selects it's entire contents, places it in the clipboard and then subsequently looses it. If I go to any other application and cmd-v the text is pasted, if I'm in Rev and I use the mouse to paste, the text is pasted, but in Rev using cmd-v or my script and 'the clipboardText' - nothing:-( But maybe if in my script I change the tool mode prior to accessing 'the clipboardText' I might reset the 'anomaly' and get the data back....
