copy/paste is duplicating

[caspian915]

Hi all,

I'm having a random issue with my work computer - the copy and paste (the key command at least) is duplicating everything I paste, e.g.,

This is what I pasteThis is what I paste

A restart didn't did fix this issue. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Are you pasting with a keyboard shortcut or a menu item?

If the former, play with the "sticky keys" setting. (Key Repeat Rate)

Thanks, I'll give that at try. I'm only temporarily on a Mac (unfortunately), so it
may be a moot point. However, it is annoying.

I did discover that it mainly seems to happen while using ZuluPad. Is it a bug with that program perhaps?

Have you mucked around in ZuluPad preferences?

ZuluPad's prefs are pretty bare bones and nothing about nothing about key rate/response/sticky keys.

I believe I found the problem: ZuluPad's paste function works with cmd + v AND ctrl + v. When you use the first, it pastes it twice (inexplicably). When you use the latter, it pastes once correctly.

Presumably this is a bug related to the fact that ZuluPad is a cross-platform program. I really like WikidPad, but it's a Win only program. ZuluPad is the closest equivalent I have found for a plain text editor + wiki pad.

Ha! I once ran across a thread wherein a new Mac user wanted to change Copy and Paste work with Control rather than Command. He'd love Zulu Pad!
