Ctrl-v to paste not working #2184

drewauff · 2021-08-13T00:20:11Z

@jsyedidia ctrl-v to paste is not working in latest version..however cutting a line (ctrl-k) then undoing that cut, make its work again, this is a bug, it is repeatable/reproducable.

After a lot more testing, seems ctrl-x and ctrl-k work just fine and I can still paste with ctrl-v, but ctrl-c is dead.

I should mention that whan pasting (ctrl-v) micro still displays the message at the bottom " Pasted clipboard" but does NOT actually paste anything.

its really quite strange even after doing a ctrl-c, ctrl-v only pastes what was previously cut with ctrl-x or ctrl-k and not what I copied with ctrl-c

I’m not able to reproduce this issue. What is the value of the clipboard option? (> show clipboard)

drewauff · 2021-08-14T00:18:53Z

internal

Should have mentioned before, ctrl-v pastes what I was copied with CMD-C unless I cut with ctrl-x or ctrl-k.

I tested with iTerm2, Kitty, Terminal and Alacritty..problem persists in all. So I know its not the terminal.

In nano if I copy then try to paste I get an error message "cut buffer empty" I but if cut, it pastes normally.

da2x · 2021-08-14T03:18:53Z

I’m having a similar issue with the Windows Terminal with Ubuntu 20.04 and Micro 2.0.8. Ctrl+k cuts the line, and Ctrl+V pastes whatever is in the Windows clipboard. It works fine if I first empty the Windows clipboard. Very occasionally, it works even when there’s something on the Windows clipboard. The Windows clipboard history never picks up on what I copy in Micro.

zyedidia · 2021-08-14T03:55:56Z

This is likely because clipboard is set to internal. When using an internal clipboard, micro makes no attempt to read the system clipboard. Perhaps ctrl-v is reading the system clipboard via your terminal rather than sending micro the event.

The solution on macOS is to set clipboard to external.

On WSL things are more complicated, because the usual solution on Linux is to install and use xclip, but WSL has no X server. I think some people have used a workaround using a script called xclip that invokes a tool called clip.exe but I am not familiar with it.

drewauff · 2021-08-14T11:09:48Z

I had a system upgrade come though, did that and it seems to have done the trick, at least for now. Thanks you all your help.

While I have you here, I downloaded a plugin, cloned to the appropriate dir, but micro does not recognise it. How do I get micro to recognise the plugin.

zyedidia · 2021-08-15T21:37:22Z

Micro should automatically recognize it if you cloned it to ~/.config/micro/plug. Could you show the tree directory structure you have in your micro config?

drewauff · 2021-08-16T00:47:02Z

my short settings.conf
{ "clipboard": "external", "colorscheme": "atom-dark", "initlua": true, "pluginchannels": [ "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micro-editor/plugin-channel/master/channel.json" ], "pluginrepos": [], "splitBottom": true, "splitRight": true, "test": true }

Am I supposed to declare my "plug" path in the settings.conf ?

This is the plugin micro-fzf

Just adds "shortcuts" to hsplit and "vsplit"

would be nice to be able to hit a shortcut key, then be prompted for file name (searchable via fzf) hit enter and opens in split.

Regarding split mode, is it possible to change the color/thickness of the split line?

drewauff · 2021-08-16T07:33:51Z

UPDATE!!: I change the plugins dir from "micro-fzf" to "microfzf" and it now works perfectly!

Would still, however prefer a keybind.. can I add custom binds to the bindings.json?

lslvr · 2021-09-14T20:48:11Z

@drewauff,

"Regarding split mode, is it possible to change the color/thickness of the split line?"

Yes. You might want to see the divchars and divreverse options. The first one sets the characters used to draw horizontal and vertical splits. The second one determines whether micro changes the background color of those characters. I use the following: "divchars": "│─", and "divreverse": false.

If your issue got resolved, could you please close the issue?

drewauff · 2021-09-15T00:22:56Z

divchars works, but cant get a smooth line with hsplit..and there is a small gap between the vertical and horizontal lines.

lslvr · 2021-09-15T00:28:02Z

That's probably because of how your terminal renders the characters. Which terminal do you use? I use xterm with this line ─*forceBoxChars: true─ in my .Xresources.

Also, make sure you're using │ and not |, and ─ instead of - (They might look almost the same in your browser, but they aren't).

drewauff · 2021-09-15T00:40:01Z

I use iTerm..

lslvr · 2021-09-15T00:57:36Z

Could you try changing your font?

drewauff · 2021-09-15T02:36:58Z

Currently using Hack Nerd Mono, changing doesnt work

lslvr · 2021-09-15T02:44:09Z

That's sad. Perhaps there's some configuration similar to xterm's forceBoxChars? I can't help any further. Sorry.

drewauff · 2021-09-15T04:09:12Z

oh the vertical split line works but the horizontal line overlaps itself..hmm

drewauff · 2021-09-15T06:27:54Z

ok its fixed!, turns out it was a setting I missed in the advanced section.

Now that thats working, its bright white how can I darken it? maybe even use a custom value (hex)?

lslvr · 2021-09-15T16:42:32Z

I'm glad you finally got it solved. I use a theme I made myself, that's how you can tweak the colors (but, did you try setting the divreverse setting to off?). In a new theme (drop it in ~/.config/micro/colorschemes/), this line is the one that controls the divider's colors: color-link divider "<color>".

For further details see https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/blob/master/runtime/help/colors.md.

drewauff · 2021-09-15T23:28:39Z

yeah I tried divreverse all it did was make the background inverted..

Ok, Ill have a look.

lslvr · 2021-09-15T23:32:23Z

Exactly. Set it to off to inherit your terminal's background color.

drewauff · 2021-09-15T23:34:05Z

oh, it was the split line I wanted to change not the background...

lslvr · 2021-09-15T23:41:25Z

Yes. set divreverse off will make those lines (which are characters) inherit the terminal's background color (I think that's what you meant when you wrote "thickness of the split line").

drewauff · 2021-09-15T23:49:02Z

yes, but it also inverts the background of the split line ie black line on white background. I want to make the split line gray..

lslvr · 2021-09-16T02:42:33Z

Okay, just set divreverse off and, in a custom theme, color-link divider "8". That's it.

drewauff · 2021-09-16T12:08:30Z

Works, Thank You!!

Only thing is the split lines dont go the full width/height..a bit odd but thought Id let you know

lslvr · 2021-09-16T16:32:13Z

Great!

As I mentioned earlier, that's most surely an issue with how your terminal renders the characters. If you could tweak the line height you might get rid of it.

lslvr · 2021-09-18T13:45:49Z

@drewauff please close this issue.

drewauff · 2021-09-22T00:05:16Z

Ok will do, just a quick question, I posted this https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues/2207#issuecomment-918746173

I would dearly love to get this working..to be able to access recently opened files in the split of your choice etc. would prove, I think, to be invaluable.

Thank you for the help you have provided. I appreciate you and your time. Thank You.

lslvr · 2021-09-22T00:09:37Z

You're welcome. 😀

@da2x I had the same issue with clipboard in WSL inside Windows Terminal. I'm currently using the following workaround: https://github.com/Konfekt/xclip-xsel-WSL

It works great.

It didn't work for me. After script installation, my bash .profile looks like this. Where am I wrong to my settings?

I just use the following symlinks:

$ cd ~/bin 
$ ls -lh
total 17M
-rwxr-xr-x 1 espdev espdev  760 Nov  6  2021 clip.sh

~/bin was added to PATH. And that is it. It works fine.

Hi, thanks, I just changed the order of the line path and now it works. I am on also with WSL2.

I tried right clicking in the terminal and it pastes your copied text into it when you right click on that space. see if it works for you as well
