[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49571] Command-c and command-v aren't default cut/paste in editor (and command-v doesn't work even when changed in preferences)

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #49571 (project octave):

Hi,

Here is what I recall: the default in Qt4 was to swap CMD and CTRL keys so
that typing CMD+C is equivalent to CTRL+C on other platforms. We had to change
this default behavior as it prevented Mac users from working with standard
readline shortcuts (CTRL+C/A/E/U...) in the command window
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/58f1178f49ef cancels the swap). 

The problem with the above change is that QScintilla (used to?) assume the
CTRL is CMD on Mac and the second cset you mention
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c6b89c4a9e63) tried to address 
this by manually swapping default QScintilla shortcuts.

Do CTRL+A and CTRL+E in the editor move the cursor to the beginning and end of
line respectively? Sorry I have no Mac anymore for testing.
