st-entry: Handle <shift>insert (1.00 KB, patch)
2014-04-26 18:01 UTC, Florian Müllner 		committed Details | Review

Description or 2011-04-20 15:41:12 UTC 
can't paste text from the clipboard into the text fields of gnome-shell.
I tried to paste also with the mouse-wheel and it doesn't work neither.
but when I try to copy, it works.

Pasting with Ctrl+V should work. PRIMARY selections aren't currently supported.
Comment 2 Jean-André Santoni 2011-11-09 14:55:28 UTC 
This is a real usability bug for users used to PRIMARY selections.
Comment 3 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2011-11-09 15:46:52 UTC 
or: As Jasper noted, Ctrl+V is supposed to work, and works at least on Fedora. So what distributions are you using, and what versions of the Shell? These are obvious details any decent bug report should provide.

Jean-André: that's another bug, please file it separately if you want the Shell to support that.

It *is* another bug, namely bug 645019 :)

Ctrl+V works great, but Shift+Insert and mouse-wheel click doesn't work.

can this bug be marked duplicate of bug 645019 ?

The reporter has a point in that shift-insert works elsewhere, so let's make this bug about that particular issue.

Hi there

st-entry: Handle <shift>insert

GTK+ supports this as alternative to <ctrl>v, so let's do the same
for consistency.
