Small but annoying issue

Hi again

 

I have one small annoying issue with Konqueror that I am hoping someone will help me with??

While in Konqueror, if you right click on a file a small menu pops up and there is EVERYTHING on that menu except............COPY!!!

I find it really annoying. Repeatedly, I do it only to have to press control c or go up to the menu and hit edit copy.

Is there a way of getting copy onto that small menu??

Thanks if there is!!

I am using Konqueror 3.1.4. I have avoided using Konqueror for a while because I have never found "copy" in the menu after right clicking in browser. I have not found this option available in Konqueror in any version I have tried.

Steve Scrimpshire what version are you using?

Try this,

when you highlight what you want copied, leave it highlighted and go to whatever you are going to paste it into and click the middle mouse button. This should paste it magically without asking it to copy!

 

Neat trick huh.....

Yea, this is weird!!

 

I have NEVER had copy on the right click menu in any version that I have had. I have had the same menu as "someone" here posted.

But now when I tried the middle button idea, I right click and guess what???There is cut copy and paste!!!!

 

You work it out.

The differences are due to whether you are using Kongi as a "file browser" or a "web page browser" Yes, I know my description is not technically correct but I am sure you get the point.

Hello.

 

When using Kongi as a file browser, if you right click on the background you will NOT get COPY, you will only get COPY TO-> or MOVE TO->.

 

When you right click on a folder itself within Kongi you should always get both CUT and COPY options.

 

As far as I know you can't (unless you are a programmer who can do such things ...... I certainly couldn't ) change it to be right click available all the time. I could be wrong on this point.

 

Hope this clarifys it for you.

Check the 'settings' menu in konq; you can create your own settings and call konqueror with the respective profile; to see what I mean, just rightclick on the home-icon on your desktop and check what gets executed (never mind that it actually doesn't say konqueror..).

Just save your profile under a new name whenever it is the way you like it, and in the future call that one with

konqueror --profile [profilename] &

(make the execute command of your icons like that).
