Ubuntu :: Paste Text Copied From Some Outside Vim Source (like A Web Browser)?
Feb 11, 2010
How do you paste text copied from some outside vim source (like a web browser)? That's the one thing that bugs me. I'm trying to more proficient w/ vim, but when I read some instructions on the web that say copy and paste this text into yadayda.conf, I can do that w/ gedit, but can't figure it out in vim.

since some days I have a strange problem with KMail (1.13.5) in KDE4.5.5. When I try to copy some text from an email and past it to any other program (e.g. Openoffice), not only the marked text will be pasted, but a kind of HTML code including the text.
This bug is not OpenSuse specific. I found the same bug in a Fedora mailing list (of course, whithout an answer): Strange Copy/Paste behavior in KMail 1.13.5/Kontact 4.4.8

To make a full backup I run a live Knoppix DVD and clone the computer's HDD to an external HDD using the dd command. Is there a possible problem with the source being copied onto bad sectors on the destination disk? If so is there a way to prevent this from happening? A typical dd command I use looks like: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror. Is this the recommended command for cloning to a disk of equal size?

I'm trying to copy paste about 5k lines from a vi text file onto a website but obviously manually selecting the text from my screen and pasting it one page at a time is time consuming so I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this?

Why can't I copy from a web browser and paste into a shell?
Sometimes it works, other is does not.
I also used the right click menus to make 100% sure that COPY and then Paste were valid

In a terminal in OSX I can pipe output to pbcopy and then go into a web browser and paste it. I tried this in Linux with xcopy but when I switch to the browser it just overwrites the clipboard with with whatever was in it the last time the browser was used. What works like pbcopy in Linux?

I've never really taken advantage of Linux being open source before but I was wondering how the copy and paste functions look like. So far I have found out that they are handled by the X Window System (by reading this thread).But I don't seem to get much further than that.

I'm using GNOME terminal to SSH into a Debian server and would really like a way to paste multiple lines of text into configuration files (using the nano text editor if possible).
So far whatever I try dumps all the text onto a single line meaning I have to manually go through inserting line feeds which is tedious and can introduce errors.
Is there a way to paste text with line feeds intact? Rather than copying each line individually?

I am trying to copy paste from a file in Nano to a text editor outside of nano on my machine (I am running windows using Nano through Putty) and I cannot figure out how to do it. I can select with mouse support enabled everything that I want to in Nano and I can cut it, but when I try to copy into my other text editor, it does not work.

I'm looking for software which will allow me to record a screen-cast of a terminal based application, recording keystrokes, timing of keystrokes, and audio. I see a couple of advantages to this approach over video capture: Display independence: the viewer can display text in any resolution/style they want, not limited to the resolution of the recorded video. Ability to copy and paste text from the screencast.

where the file is that allows me to change CTRL+V in Pidgin from "paste" to "paste as plain text"? According to a changelog, it should be possible somewhere. I've seen about five different files referenced on various forums, but haven't been able to locate any of them on my computer.
Another thread mentioned appending the following bit of code to the gtkrc file:
Code:
bind "<ctrl>v" { "paste" ("text") }
I found the file in /user/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0-key/.When I open this file, it's empty. I added the code there, but it didn't work. The only other locations I found that file were in the other theme folders, but I use the default.
I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Remix v9.10, and the latest build of Pidgin (2.7.3).

I have a .txt-file with ~50.000 lines of numbers, generated by a mathematics program. From this file, I need line ~ 1.100 to line ~16.000 (these lines are always the same btw, this may make the solution easier, dunno) to be copy/pasted to another file, where the lines ~500 to ~15.000 (also, every time the same) should be overwritten by the aforementioned lines...I haven't found or come up with anything that works yet, mostly I find solutions to copy everything from one file to another but I can't find something to specifically overwrite a part of a file with part of another.

I am planning to install any Open-Source ( LINUX ) web browser having all dependencies/plugin-ins on one single location [DIR] and share it over NFS to all other users; So all users can run the executable to start browsing local files (Flash Tutorials) without the need of installing a web browser on every single workstation. In my case I am using Red Hat Linux 4 update 7 WS all over my work place.

I'm running openSUSE 11.3 with GNOME. I went through the Software Manager and deleted every instance of OpenOffice.org that was left after changing to LibreOffice, and also installed Beagle (+dependencies) and Tracker with some additional packages. Then I noticed that in the Application Browser there is no text next to the icons. Only the small version of the icons centered with no text (screenshot below).
The problem is I have no idea how to restore it to the way it was. I've already deleted Beagle and Tracker and their packages to no avail. I also noticed that YaST and Control Center both look fine. It's only the Application Browser.

Just wondering if anyone knew of a really good text based terminal browser to use when I am not running X. I can use Links and do not have too much trouble navigating, but I have not been able to set the screen to view the entire page (I have to move off screen to read the whole page.) So, if anyone knows an easier text browser that is a little easier to set the screen options with code...

After last updating I'm coming across some issues mainly about web browsing: I get different text fonts than usual (on Google search for example, but also on some web sites) and small fonts appear with a sort of halo... Moreover I get some difficulties in video streaming: after a while it stops with no apparent reason...

I'm working on a new conky script, and I had the idea to use text from a [URL]... The command I'm using to pull the file is:
Code:
curl -s http://www.thefuckingweather.com/?zipcode=33186 | grep 'ITS FKING *'
However, this gives me the entire line of code this line appears in.
Code:
<br />ITS FKCING NICE</div><div id="remark"><br />
How can I limit this to simply the text?
Sorry about the foul language btw...the words obviously aren't misspelled when I enter them in the terminal
