Caret in the text

[kosivantsov]

Currently, it's impossible to copy a part of the text using keyboard only. It would be very helpful to show caret in the biblical text and enable selection with Shift+arrows.

BTW Firefox has this function. It's turned on with F7 key.

i can do copy/paste with perfectly ordinary ctrl-c to copy from the xiphos window & ctrl-v to paste it anywhere else.

Copying and pasting does work, selecting the text with keyboard only doesn't. You have to select with mouse and then press Ctrl+C, but it would be very helpful to be able to select text with Shift+Arrows.

oh that's what you meant. you said "copy a part of the text using kbd only" and i misunderstood.
i'll have to think about that further.

If I select a word in the text (by double-clicking), I can then use Shift+arrow. Isn't that what this issue is about? Solved?

[karlkleinpaste]

Not precisely, no. I understood (eventually) that what's wanted is a way to do text selection without the mouse at all.

[LAfricain]

OK.
