Implements opening from clipboard as discussed in issue #205

[eteran]

Ctrl+Shift+Y Now will open what is in the copy buffer of the clipboard, which works well for platforms that don't support cross-application selection primary selection buffers.

I built the open-from-clipboard branch but the key combo doesn't seem to do anything, is there meant to be an entry for it on the File menu?

[eteran]

No menu entry, it should just work. Did you try with Ctrl instead of Cmd? Maybe only menu entries get auto-converted?

[eteran]

@tksoh BTW, I am loving your idea of putting the git branch, commit, etc in the version info! I didn't even have to ask to double-check that the correct branch was used here :-).

[eteran]

@anjohnson any luck? It seems to work correctly locally.

[anjohnson]

I tried both Cmd+Shift+Y and Ctrl+Shift+Y, I confirmed that I had the right path by pasting into the current document then selecting it and using Cmd+Y which did work.

I do get a beep on Cmd+Shift+Y though, so I think MainWindow::action_Shift_Open_Selected() is being called.

Do you plan to add a menu item?

[eteran]

Probably no menu item, yet. If you are getting a beep, then it likely thinks that the clipboard is empty. Are you sure you did a Cmd+C with some text highlighted somewhere first?

[eteran]

Oh.... I see the problem... fix incoming :-P

[anjohnson]

Building...

[eteran]

OK, should work now!

Ironically, it was a C+P error. I based the code off of the normal action_Open_Selected ... which of course has code to check if your system supports selections! Since macOS doesn't, it was blocking the code from doing its thing :-P.

[anjohnson]

Yay, success! A menu item would be nice eventually (to provide discoverability) and of course an entry in the Help docs, but you know all that...

Thanks!

[eteran]

Merging!
