MDV click select

(1/3) > >>

Ulfhednar:
Using MDV via <F1> I find I can block select words/values with a double click.
If I click the view file icon on find results this function will only partially select the block, usually only 1 or 2 chars.
Can this be 'fixed'?

I'd also love to see a double-click/block select/copy to clipboard function in MDV.  Is that possible?

Mathias (Author):
I find no issue here. Maybe I don't fully understand the issue.

It is the same viewer, It works the same.
It will select words when double clicking on the word.

also double-click on to word select and the press Ctrl+C to copy to clipboard works

Ulfhednar:
Sorry Mathias I wasn't clear enough...
The 'error' occurs when selecting strings that have mixed chars. 
See screens
029_FV4101 is selected when using <f1>
FV is selected when invoking MDV from the find dialog.
Word boundary defined differently (?)

I was thinking of an auto copy to clipboard when double-click/selecting so no right-click or ctrl+c req'd.  Guess it would need to be an option that gets turned on/off by user if req'd.

Mathias (Author):
Ahh okey.
Yes looks like some of the options (Menu > Options > Options , in the viewer) are not loaded correct when opening from search.
I will take a look at that

Ulfhednar:
Thanks Mathias.

Wondering if adding a 'select-on-double-click' function to options is a big task?
It occurred to me that the MDV having no editing function makes a good tool for string copying (passwords etc) with little danger of altering the source file.  A gimmick or a time-saver?
I wondered how easy it would be to create a plug-in that did it with C++.  Something for an amateur to mess with.  :P
