CK_COPY_TO_NEW_TAB

[andynguyendk]

hi, sorry to trouble you after so many years.
i've just figured out how to put QMK on the board and i've noticed your CK_COPY_TO_NEW_TAB function. but it seems as if the copy action did not perform, so it ends up pasting the previous clipboard content instead. how should i remedy this? i tried to include another c after the first but it didnot seem to help.

That's odd. It works just fine for me when I have some text selected and use the macro.

I've only ever used the macro on systems running Ubuntu and Fedora, and only ever tried this in Firefox. Maybe its something about the software you are running?

[andynguyendk]

i'm on ubuntu & firefox as well. it's kinda puzzling since the t & v registers but not c...

[ewpratten]

Thats very weird. And does it work if you do the macro manually?

Hold Ctrl and press C, T, and V while still holding Ctrl

[andynguyendk]

it does. which makes it super confusing.

[andynguyendk]

is it possible to include a slight delay between c and t and v? coz c still works and update the clipboard, but not before v took effect and pasted the previous clipboard content instead.

[ewpratten]

There is probably a way to introduce a delay. I'm not quite sure how off the top of my head though. I'll take a look

i tried SEND_STRING_DELAY but i got a compilation error

[ewpratten]

Ya, thats the other part of the issue here. This repo is based on a really old version of QMK. So much has changed since this fork that neither I or the original author have managed to get everything working on the new QMK versions.

[ewpratten]

So lots of handy functions you'd want just don't exist

[andynguyendk]

Oh, no worry. The fact that i could get QMK and use things like LayerTap or AutoShift on that much loved formfactor has been a pleasure. If send_string_delay isnt working it's not a big deal at all. Thank you for your work & your detailed guide. Best regards, Andy Nguyen (84)904100147

If you ever want to use new QMK with the same layout/form factor, check out the TG4x. Its my current keyboard of choice. Basically a Vortex Core with an AVR chip in it instead.

[andynguyendk]

I didnt know such thing existed!! Oh well, the Core will do for now. I like its alu case & qmk is working fine as it is. Old but still gold.

I wonder if Send_string exist then Send_string_delay could also exist since they share the same api. Where could i possibly find the file where the function is defined so perhaps I could add it?
