Ctrl & cursor

[Ali]

How do you get the keys ctrl & left mouse button to work in Textpad 4.4.2, like you do in Windows ?
I have to edit a very large file and copy these lines out to a document and they are not continuous - I don't want to have to paste each selection I would rather do it all in one go!

Any ideas??!

Thanks, Ali

You have to mark the line you would like to copy. Then you can copy these lines to the clipboard in the edit menu.

I'm not sure if I understand your question.

Try:
Configure, Preferences, Editor
Check "Use Microsoft's conventions for mouse click selection"
Apply

Is this what you're after?

I wasn't really clear in my previous post.

You can bookmark the lines with Ctrl+F2. This option is also available in the Search menu. (I used the wrong term, since I use the Dutch version After that you can copy the bookmarked lines (in Edit, Copy Other).

You can bookmark several lines selected lines, so it's not *exactly* want you wanted, but it does the trick.

Or try this:

select first line, press Ctrl-C
select next line, press Ctrl-Shift-C
select next line, press Ctrl-Shift-C
select next line, press Ctrl-Shift-C
...
select last line, press Ctrl-Shift-C

switch to wherever you want to paste and press Ctrl-V
