Paste on OSX

[MightyGoober]

When using the Mac client, you can copy with: CTRL + OPT + C Paste does not work with any combination of keys + V

Can you create hotkeys using OPT key at all? I have no way to test Mac client unfortunately.

This problem also occurs on the linux version, paste does not always work.

no, the client does not detect the opt key. Although it detects ctrl, and it is assignable to hotkeys, ctrl+v does not work, it just inputs v.

Check this code

std::string X11Window::getClipboardText()
{
    Atom clipboard = XInternAtom(m_display, "CLIPBOARD", False);
    Window ownerWindow = XGetSelectionOwner(m_display, clipboard);
    if(ownerWindow == m_window)
        return m_clipboardText;

    std::string clipboardText;
    if(ownerWindow != None) {
        Atom propertyAtom = XInternAtom(m_display, "OTCLIENT_CLIPBOARD", False);
        Atom target = XInternAtom(m_display, "UTF8_STRING", False);
        if(target == None)
            target = XA_STRING;

        XConvertSelection(m_display, clipboard, target, propertyAtom, m_window, CurrentTime);
        XFlush(m_display);

        // hack to wait SelectioNotify event, otherwise we will get wrong clipboard pastes
        // TODO: fix this in a correct way
        stdext::millisleep(100);

        Atom type;
        int format;
        unsigned long len = 0, bytesLeft = 0;
        unsigned char* data = nullptr;
        int result = XGetWindowProperty(m_display, m_window, propertyAtom, 0, 10000000L, False, target, &type, &format, &len, &bytesLeft, &data);
        if(result != Success || len == 0 || data == nullptr) {
            if(data)
                XFree(data);

            target = XA_STRING;
            XConvertSelection(m_display, clipboard, target, propertyAtom, m_window, CurrentTime);
            XFlush(m_display);
            stdext::millisleep(100);
            result = XGetWindowProperty(m_display, m_window, propertyAtom, 0, 10000000L, False, target, &type, &format, &len, &bytesLeft, &data);
        }

        if(result == Success && len > 0 && data) {
            clipboardText.assign(reinterpret_cast<char*>(data), len);

            if(stdext::is_valid_utf8(clipboardText))
                clipboardText = stdext::utf8_to_latin1(clipboardText);

            XFree(data);
        }
    }

    return clipboardText;
}

To whoever fixes this, keep in mind that Mac users are used to anything CTRL being mapped to CMD(windows key).

So the proper shortcut for copy/paste is CMD+C and CMD+V
