Copy-paste shortcuts broken

[plsamuel]

The Cmd+C shortcut is currently broken in the Diff window, have to do right-click + Copy menu.

Using version 3.0

Confirm with v3.0 unter linux, too :(

[davvid]

v3.2 is the latest stable. Are you seeing this in Linux there too? What window manager?

[jedie]

In ubuntu 18.04 is currently only v3.0 :(

[davvid]

It's really easy to try the latest version:

git clone git://github.com/git-cola/git-cola.git
./git-cola/bin/git-cola

That should work just fine if you have the ubuntu version installed since you already have all of the python dependencies.

[jedie]

It's not so easy:

    raise PythonQtError('No Qt bindings could be found')
qtpy.PythonQtError: No Qt bindings could be found

I don't quite understand. I have git-cola from the dirtribution installed... So I assume that every dependencies are installed.

EDIT: I filed a bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git-cola/+bug/1789176

@davvid think it's a good idea to remove "MacOS" in issues title, because it's IMHO not "MacOS" specific, isn't it?

[davvid]

Hmm, I don't have 18.04 installed. Maybe it's a python2 vs 3 thing? In the bin/git-cola launcher script, change the #! line to say #!/usr/bin/env python3 and see if that makes a difference?

You'll can sudo apt install python3-PyQt5 or sudo apt install python-PyQt5 to verify that they're installed.

I still develop using the python2 version of pyqt5, so if you're able to install the non-python3 version then you won't need to edit the #! line in the script. Let me know if either of these sugs work (editing the shebang line, or installing python versions of PyQt5.

If you sudo apt install apt-show-versions you can apt-show-versions | grep -i pyqt and that might help shed some light on the situation. What does ls -l /usr/bin/python look like on 18.04? Is it still python2? python --version can answer that question.

Yep, seems like an ubuntu packaging bug if you need to install additional stuff. Maybe they'll update to v3.2 too ;-)

[jedie]

Yes that's it!

shebang in "git-cola/bin/git-cola" is #!/usr/bin/env python

default python in ubuntu 18.04 is still 2.7 :(

So i can make just this: python3 git-cola/bin/git-cola and it works.
