How to enable 'Highlight' to 'copy buffer'

(1/1)

Mad_Robot:
Hi,
I am moving from ScITE (linux) to Code::Blocks (linux).
In ScITE, I had the native ability to highlight text from within the editor and have it automatically populate the highlighted-text into the OS's copy buffer.
Then, I would simply move to another app/window and paste what I wanted to paste.

I can't seem to do this with Code::Blocks.

Is there a setting that allows this to be turned on?


Thx.

Mad R.

There was a plugin that does this, maybe it is name is MouseSap.
Unfortunately this feature of Unix/X11 is not well supported in wxWidgets (wxGTK) and we can't implement it correctly.
If someone knows how to be done inside wxGTK, I'll be glad to take a look, because I find it annoying, too.
