Peppercorn Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 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!!

Peppercorn Posted December 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I am using version 3.1.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Hmm, strange. It is there for me as well. Mandrake 9.2 with KDE 3.1.3 -- standard install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnkirby Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 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..... Capn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppercorn Posted December 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 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.

Floyd Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 (edited) If I select then right click using Konqueror this is what I get. Edited December 19, 2003 by Floyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Konqueror 3.1.4 (Using KDE 3.1.3) ditto Thank you Steve Scrimpshire. Do you understand why your menu shows "copy" and mine shows "copy to" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 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.

Peppercorn Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Aussie John!! Can you explain what you mean and how I can change it to be there all the time even as a file browser?? Today, once again, I do the old right click, and it's gone again. It is very annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 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. Cheers.

aRTee Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 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).
