Hi, since the beginning of my NG Amiga experience soon ten years now, I have been craiving for being able to copy and paste text
with Ctrl+Insert for copy and Shift+Insert for paste. These shortcuts I'm used to since my childhood when working in text editors for faster work pace.

Do anyone know how to set this up please? I have tried using FKey in some way, but with no luck...

PS: I know I can do this in MUI for its programs but what about for Reaction programs and the rest of the OS?

* Maybe there is some way in ARexx for copy/paste, so FKey can pass the job to the ARexx script?

* Make an AmigaOS feature request for the OS devs here in the other thread?

* Something else...?

I don't use FKey, I use AllKeys instead, but I was able to map the required keys.

Control Insert to RAmiga C
Shift Insert to RAmiga V

(All Keys differentiates between LShift and RShift, so I guess if you want to be "ambidextrous", you'd need to map both of them).

I just tested AllKeys and it works perfectly, awesome!! You just solved my long time itching head deck, thank you

Glad to help! I've just been enjoying your screenshots on AmigaWorld, so we're even.

I thoroughly recommend AllKeys. It allows you to map all of your keys, even multimedia keys, and extra buttons on mice. I have a five-button mouse; button 4 is mapped to cycle between screens.

So, if your keyboard has an "email" button, you can map that to run YAM, or a web button, it can run your browser, etc. If you've got one of those gaming mice with 20 buttons you can assign a function to all of them. It's very powerful.

I found the GUI very difficult to use initially, and my first configs were done by directly editing the config file, so it's good you got the hang of it.
