Titles and Text: Paste? Copy?

How do we Copy and Paste Text into the new Control "Titles and Text". Still works as it did in the "(Legacy) Text), why not here?

Just checked in ProType, yep working there too.

Bizarre

Hi Grazie,

Intrigued by your question, I tried to work out how to copy/paste in teh new Text & Titles - beyond me.

As you note, still works the "same as always" in the Legacy Text facility.

You've summed it up succinctly - bizarre.

Hi,
CTRL-C then CTRL-V works for me

Ah, good ole MS KB "shortcuts"!

However, previously all I needed to do was Right Click "PASTE", done! Now that does NOT work for me.

If I'm working with my mouse, it's kinda counter-productive to then go to the KB?

Dunno, for me, moving my fingers to the keyboard to do Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V is way faster than right-mouse-button clicking, tediously moving to select the appropriate menu option, and clicking again.

I watch so many people copying and pasting with the mouse and every single stinkin' time it's soooooooooo much slower than if they used the keys.

As long as a windows app conforms to the Cntrl c -Cntrl V convention there should be no problem with the app.
The issue with menu dropdowns is that it (key and mouse press) has to be specifically written into the app, and has to follow the focus of the selected open window, which can be tricky in a complex app. Maybe this was an oversight by the code writers in this case, then again maybe not.
Keyboard shortcuts rule!

+1 to that!!
I tell my students that too. Some listen and some don't :)

Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V, then don't forget to make it as new generated media...?

Press ctrl while you drag your previous title/text
