New Ctrl+Alt T keyboard shortcut doesn't seem to work

pg111 · 03-07-2020, 02:31 PM

Hi everybody,

Ctrl+Alt T keyboard shortcut announced as a new feature of 4.12 doesn't seem to work or I may use it improperly.

I understood it is supposed to send the current book tags to the clipboard so I can paste them into another book tag record.

I tried to use it after opening a book in Editor view but to no avail.

Where was I wrong?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

I think you are going down a wrong path

Code:

<p>All this text is what gets copied to the clip board with a ctrl+alt+T in the editor </p>

These are HTML Tags
You were probably thinking Metadata tags

Thanks. Yes I was trying to recover Metadata tags.

Simplest way to copy any column value from a book to the clipboard is from the Book List, make the required cell current, press F2, press Ctrl+C, press Esc.

Again this has nothing to do with the Book Editor so I'm moving it to the Library Management sub-forum. I'll put Pop's post in its own thread.

BR
