Copy coordinates from List using shortcut Ctrl+C #564

Closed lfunkhouser closed 5 years ago

lfunkhouser commented 5 years ago

Current behavior Select coordinates in the list can be done by clicking on a single coordinate or selecting multiples using Ctrl or Shift key when you click, or Ctrl+A to select all depending on which entries you want to select.

User can right-click on the selected coordinates in the List > Select Copy to copy the selected coordinates

User can paste the coordinates into another application by right-click > Paste or using the shortcut Ctrl+V to paste

Expected behavior In addition to the right-click, allow user the option to use Ctrl+C to copy the selected coordinates from the List

@saip I'm seeing an issue where if you select multiple coordinates in the list, then right-click on one of the selected coordinates, click Copy, then paste into a text document, you only get the single coordinate that you actually clicked.
If you make a multiple selection and use Ctrl+C to copy, you get the multiple selection. image Windows standard behavior would be to get the other selected items if one item of the selected group is right-click/copied. For example, I have files A, B, C, D. I multiple-select B and D, then right-click file D and click Copy. In a new location, I paste. Both file B and D are copied to the new location. image Currently it is treating the case of I have B and D selected, and I right-click A and click Copy. In that case, only A should be copied.

Multiple select, right-click, copy/paste retains all of the selected features in the released version of CC, so this is a new issue with the test build I'm using: CTLocalGovTeam-dev\57

@BobBooth @saip and i were able to reproduce this. The problem with this one is that this behavior was specifically introduced to deal with #569 in which if you had a point highlighted and right-clicked on a different (not highlighted point) it would always return the details for the point that was highlighted. We will need to log this as a future enhancement to figure out how to work around this.

In this delivery we have two options:

  1. leave this and #569 as is or
  2. revert what was done for #569 so that the user must select a coordinate, then right-click it to see details, and then we would be able to do a multi-copy from the list

the team will need to discuss soon what approach we want to take and let @saip know

@BobBooth and I discussed this comment for this release we want to leave things as implemented ... when multiple points are selected and you right-click>copy you only get the point you right-clicked on. You can still copy multiple points by selecting multiple points and using ctrl+c. #584 was opened to address this in the future.
