Ctrl-insert (copy) does not work with 2020.12-RC3

[tarhytti]

I'm using ctrl + insert button to copy selection but this key combination does not work in with rc3 version.

Of course, there's work-a-round by using ctrl-v but habit is hard to change...

Keyboard shortcuts should become configurable at some point, there's not going to be support for that in the next release yet though. At this point only CTRL+C / CTRL+V is supported

ctrl+insert produces this pop-up

What is it meant to do? It worked as 'Copy' in 2019.05.

[t-paul]

Insert text template (code snippet).

[MichaelAtOz]

Is that documented anywhere?

[t-paul]

I don't see it in https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/WIP so it's probably only in #3047

[nophead]

How does this work? I get a popup but I can't find any way to use it. Is it just a prompt or I am supposed to be able to get it to complete what I started typing?

How does this work?

I'm looking...

Oh, it seems to be right click to code complete. It isn't normal to right click on a context menu in Windows.

[t-paul]

Ok, can we please go back to the actual issue?

Any suggestions for a different keyboard short-cut to use for the templates?

How about just Ctrl+T ?

BTW, Ctrl+Ins is not completely gone in RC3. I've found it still works in about window :)

[t-paul]

CTRL+T is already spoken for although for a feature which is probably rarely used. For reference, see https://github.com/openscad/openscad/wiki/Keyboard-Shortcuts

[jordanbrown0]

And if we were to reassign Ctrl+T, it should go to New Tab (and Ctrl+N to New Window), to match browsers.

IntelliJ IDEA uses ALT+Insert for "Generate Code". That might work?

Sounds good.

Windows build from #3562:

• 64-bit installer
• 64-bit zip

In my searching it appears that many new keyboards drop the insert key. Not a problem for me, but I'm wondering how wide spread this is, particularly Mac. Aside: Have to be careful with Alt re menu selection, but Alt-Insert can't be a menu shortcut. Using another modifier with Alt, can stop conflict with menu selection, e.g. Ctrl+Atl+T.
