Caret in the text #921

Open kosivantsov opened 5 years ago

Currently, it's impossible to copy a part of the text using keyboard only. It would be very helpful to show caret in the biblical text and enable selection with Shift+arrows.

BTW Firefox has this function. It's turned on with F7 key.

i can do copy/paste with perfectly ordinary ctrl-c to copy from the xiphos window & ctrl-v to paste it anywhere else.

kosivantsov commented 4 years ago

Copying and pasting does work, selecting the text with keyboard only doesn't. You have to select with mouse and then press Ctrl+C, but it would be very helpful to be able to select text with Shift+Arrows.

oh that's what you meant. you said "copy a part of the text using kbd only" and i misunderstood. i'll have to think about that further.
