Pnote 0.2 - desktop notepad

[zigbert]

technosaurusHave you tested this idea? I can't see how the field can get focus after another window has been opened.

That's what I ran into too, so I guess that is out unless there is some way to grab focus....I'm not complaining though, since this is what makes the keyboard work so nicely.

Code: Select all

  <action signal="focus-out-event">echo "$PAD" | xclip -i -selection clipboard</action>

Great stuff. Included for next release.


Thank you
Sigmund

To be able to paste into a terminal, vim, etc., I think pnote has to be open..which happens if "check exit" action is removed.

I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to have the clipboard action be the default.

If you didn't realize that just leaving the window would wipe out something specifically placed earlier on the clipboard, it might be confusing.

I know it was my suggestion, but perhaps better for a specific use as an option.

jpeps- Yes, the selection buffer is used to paste into terminals.

Windowed version gets both the selection buffer & traditional clipboard.

Is there a way to copy ONLY selected text to xclip ?

Is there a way to copy ONLY selected text to xclip ?

Code: Select all

xclip  -i -selection primary

But..... I think it gets wiped out if the program exits.

Cheers,

(EDIT) NO,it isn't wiped: Just tried it after Pnote exit - it still pastes in a terminal and is not on clipboard.

[jpeps]

think it's just writing everything to the buffer instead of the clipboard...

Hello Charlie
I have not used IceWM for ages, and have no idea on how to set it all up.

Sorry
Sigmund

Thanks for replying, Sigmund !

Edited:
I thought finding a workaround for it ... but nope !
Using Menu/Utilities/Xbinkeys Config Tool does not work under Icewm WM.
It just work one time just after doing "Apply Save & Exit" in Xbinkeys Config Tool! (although there is a xbindkeys symlink in /root/Strartup). It does not longer work after closing the pnotes window.

(When finished to enter a text inside the Pnotes window, the Pnotes window shuts off by moving the mouses cursor inside it and leaving the window.)

I found another solution:
adding a keys combination like

Code: Select all

key "Alt+Ctrl+w"		pnote

inside /root/.icewm/keys works

Greetings
Charlie
