Re: Copie, cut and insert in chat
"Strg" is "Ctrl" for you USA kids.
I don't understand how simply explaining how to "Copy and Paste" with keyboard commands can become a topic, i'm sure most of the people here knows to do so; the people that doesn't know either doesn't need to do so or simply learns to do so from other sources. I haven't really needed to "Copy and Paste" a text in the Minetest's chat.
Resuming the first post is kind of much selecting the text, press "Ctrl+C" to copy, then going to Minetest's chat and press "Ctrl+V" to paste. Simple stuff.

Re: Copie, cut and insert in chat
Actually this is worth more discussion as far as I'm concerned.
I can not, or haven't properly learned how to copy or select text in chat. I'm on Linux with somewhat dependable pasting into chat. Also I can copy and paste (most of the time) into or from a formspec.
The OP outlined how to copy chat with shift+a or shift+arrows.
That is news to me and I can't seem to do it. Is this from the f10 console? Or is it from "t" chat?
Anyone care to share more info on selecting text? I've never seen any highlighting or anything that even hints at being selected.
Thanks!

One trick is to do Ctrl+V twice when you're in minetest :P

Re: Copie, cut and insert in chat
I'm pretty sure the only text in chat that can be selected is the current input line, not the chat history.

Re: Copie, cut and insert in chat
Currently the only text from Minetest that you can work with is that of any sort of display (ie. formspecs or signs) and the line you are working with. On some systems, you can copy from outside Minetest into chat and formspecs. Sometimes if you paste into chat (ctrl+v), nothing shows up. Do Ctrl+v again and it should show up. If you have pasted before and you do ctrl+v for something new, you might see the old thing that you pasted. This is the same bug as the other thing, so just delete what you pasted (press the down arrow to clear the line) and do ctrl+v again. It is a good idea before you type something with a paste, to open chat, do ctrl+v, press down, then type what you want to type. If you want to copy something from your current line, press and hold shift and press the left or right arrow key until what you want is selected. Then, either press ctrl+c if you want to copy it, or Delete if you want to delete it. While shift-selecting, you can press ctrl at the same time to select by word instead of letter. If you want to re-say a line or copy from something you already said, press the up arrow to scroll through your chat history (what you have said) and copy/say as needed. There is currently no way to copy/paste from other people's chat.

Re: Copie, cut and insert in chat
Minetest doesn't properly allow paste from X for non-ascii characters. It comes out as (for example) バナナ => \u30d0\u30ca\u30ca.

Re: Copie, cut and insert in chat
So apparently this just happened :)
What began as a rudimentary formspec to copy text from chat turned into a fully-featured chat history viewer, including the ability to filter messages by player as well as by PM or shout, and even to search for specified phrases within the message text.
It's as simple as the command /chat or /chat [search_phrase]
To find all instances of "d*g", I used the asterisk which represents a wildcard character. Of course, I could combine that search phrase with the other filters for more specific matches, if needed.
Best of all, because the message buffer is completely server-side, it is possible to view and copy the chat history that occurred prior to logging in. And yes, it even stores offline PMs!

Re: Copie, cut and insert in chat
Nicely done! Oddly I've been working on the same thing, but not as fancy. It's simply non filtered chat.
Yours seems more useful. :)

How about adding GNU readline support to the chat?

Re: Copie, cut and insert in chat
I will see what I can do, but as it stands most of my mods take advantage of capabilities only available in my fork of the engine. If I find time, I can certainly see about releasing a limited version of the chat_history without the dependencies.salahzar wrote:is that @sorcerykid chat history or @exeterdad some publicly available mods I can find on github?

Re: Copie, cut and insert in chat
I tried similar actions with chat (copy from/to chat a text, insert to the chat a text), but nothing worked... Really no it?

Re: Copie, cut and insert in chat
Thanks, I've found it to be quite addictive. The ability to review and search the entire chat history, and even copy/save it to the clipboard is very helpful for moderation. Whenever I join other servers, I tend to type /chat out of habit, only to be disappointed :D
A few improvements are already in the works including pagination (alleviates cursor-based scrolling), conversations (for message filtering by multiple users), and eventually translations (for embedded multilingual support).

Re: Copy, cut and insert in chat
So I'm trying to use copy/paste to insert a batch of server commands to the WorldEdit mod in the chat window.
However, when I do this it seems to turn the newlines into some other kind of whitespace, interpreting all the lines as one long single line.
How do I paste multiple commands like this? I have tried various separators such as ";" without any success.

Re: Copy, cut and insert in chat
Unfortunately you cannot run multiple commands at once like you could a in command prompt. You must do one command at a time.michael314 wrote:So I'm trying to use copy/paste to insert a batch of server commands to the WorldEdit mod in the chat window.

into separate command, and feed them to the chat, one at a time.
But basic_robot_csm needs at least MT 0.4.16-dev to run.

A couple of other ideas I was tossing around was some kind of macro player on the PC side to take the paste buffer and feed it to Minetest a line at a time (probably slow) or to make changes to the world editor to recognize something like a semi-colon as a separator.
In case you are wondering, what I'm trying to do is procedurally generate things like tunnels and underground rooms (where I call a function that specifies the extent and it generates separate commands for the excavation, each face and the edges). I would like to share the same code between Minetest and Minecraft so I could also make world edit commands (e.g. /fill) which match what Minecraft uses, otherwise my code that generates the commands will have to generate two different sets.
