[BUG] Can't Ctrl+C textbox values

Support Technical Support
1

In Blender when I want to copy a value from a text box with Ctrl+C it doesn’t copy that data into my clipboard buffer.

Example; I want to copy the Z value, I press Ctrl+C and I expect it to copy that into my Clipboard Buffer, but it doesn’t for whatever reason Blender not registering that I want to copy it. In my Preferences Copy is set to Ctrl+C, and if I press the bind’s Blender recognizes the buttons are pressed and does work, but for whatever reason Blender will still not let me copy values from text boxes.

My only work around is to open up external text editor and copy it from there to add the stuff I want into my clipboard buffer which is really annoying. Never had this issue in previous versions of Blender until 4.2 where it can’t copy text values.

Are only certain object values not copied? Are all object settings not copied? :thinking:

If it’s a specific object problem, it can be an error or a setup problem.
If all objects have the same problem, it could be a keymap problem.

If you can’t find the key map in question, you can try to reset the factory.
(Please back up the model settings and run the initialization.)

※ There is also a way to copy settings to Ctrl+C, with the mouse point above the number without selecting a number.

I can copy objects and paste them just fine, just not text from any text box that lets me highlight to copy it.

Maybe it’s a keymap issue (estimated), but I don’t know where the problem is.
Generally, it may be reallocated by the user, but it may also be reallocated by some Addons. :thinking:

Maybe it’s you clipboard app ?? No problems with clipit under debian… (using X11)… or maybe it’s wayland?
