Unable to copy/paste to the app

Open sbryant82 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

copy paste disabled When setting up this app, the ability to copy and paste is disabled. Had to manually key in the long client ID and secrete. There is no save button either. When closing the app and relaunching, the credentials were gone.

I'll have to poke around a bit as I'm seeing different behavior. Screenshot 2023-12-21 at 9 18 23 AM

Perhaps tab out of the last field you paste/enter text into to ensure authentication is successful (you'll see the green dot). Screenshot 2023-12-21 at 9 23 56 AM

if authentication fails credentials will not be saved.

The real issue isn't that one can't copy/paste, but that they keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste don't work.

  • ⌘V to paste doesn't work, but
  • Right-click → Paste works, and
  • Clicking the jamfStatus menu bar icon and selecting Edit → Paste also works

(There are other apps and even websites that don't work with keyboard shortcuts, even though they do support Copy and Paste. Why?!)

Since I don't have an edit menu (or any menu for that matter) I have nothing to attach the keyboard shortcut to. I suspect there is a workaround, just need to find time to write my own paste function. As far as other apps/websites can't say, maybe they have some compliance requirement that requires you type stuff in.
