#322 VICE separate enhanced clipboard for copy/paste

[MIRKOSOFT]

Hi!

I tried always to copy and paste Basic text with PETSCII characters.
It was never successfull, PETSCII characters were affected by Windows Clipboard.

Nice feature can be that VICE will have separate clipboard while running.

Example of use:
1. Load Basic program with PETSCII
2. Copy listing into clipboard
3. Load other Basic program which causes deleting of old
4. Renumber Basic lines
5. Paste old listing
6. Result: two joined Basic programs together without any tool and untouched, true PETSCII characters

What do you think about?

Even nice feature can be while is VICE running PETSCII will be interchangeable between VICE machines emulators.
Example:
1. Start x64
2. Use VICEclipboard similar like above
3. Start x128 while x64 running
4. Switch x64 to x128 and copy or paste
5. Result: untouched text transfer

Even nice feature can be PETSCII copy of screen to VICE clipboard - even with colors... this will enable new possibilities of VICE.

VICE FReq copy from/to clipboard completely or use separate clipboard w/ export

for anything non trivial (ie what doesnt fit on the screen) you'd have to use an external tool (petcat) anyway. i dont see the point

The same resullt is with PETCAT - always problem with PETSCII chars.
Or I' using old version?

what same result exactly? are you sure you are using it correctly?

[MIRKOSOFT]

Really don't understand how to copy listing from VICE emulator and then don't harm PETSCII.
Or it needs disasssemble program to text file and then join programs together and compile again?
If this works, please confirm it and this request can be closed.

you dont copy it from the emulator. as said before, this would only work for small programs that fit on the screen anyway, so its basically useless. instead work with petcat on the saved .prg files, or the respective textfiles it generates.

Ok, we can close this.
