Copy/Paste - is it possible lwithin SWG? Empty Copy/Paste - is it possible lwithin SWG?

Hi guys,
I've looked through all the options to enable it, or any sign of any key strokes that'll do it. Is there any way to copy/paste within SWG?

Yes, all it needs is for you to keymap it. It’s in options>keymap>chat and its ‘chat edit copy’ and ‘chat edit paste’. It’s still kinda restrictive tho, like when you are looking at a mail you cant copy what’s in it, but if you hit reply or forward then you can copy the text. It does use the same clipboard as the rest of windows, so you can copy something off a webpage and paste it in-game, but for whatever reason you can’t do that with the in-game browser.

AH!
Shiney!
This will make pasting info and waypoints in various places (the bazaar for one) much easier.
Thanks.

Because they didn't want people copy/pasting massive long macros or macro chains?
But they didn't remove it entire because they knew traders would want to copy/paste item descriptions?
Bah, your guess is as good as mine. Either way I have it working now. Thanks for that. Smile

I know when they switched to the new system (it was right when I started playing swg) I read a post from a dev saying the macros were supposed to be there for people who were crippled and could not do certain things on their own. The idea was to given them a way to play the game. That was before they allowed afk'ing.

I still think soe is retarded sometimes...
