PASTE followed by MOVE
Hi,
After a PASTE [Ctrl-V], now the copied selection is now in MOVE mode.
Is there a way to come back to the previous way ? : not being in MOVE mode, but still selected.
Thanks,
Laurent

There's also a mode in the C(opy) command which puts
you in "move" but I never can tell whether I'm in it or not.
This came about after requesting an "infix" bindkey mode
for copy and move. I would like to know if there's some
overlooked "mode indicator" that says whether I'm fixing
to drag something or not, before I move the cursor or
click. I've sort of gotten in the habit of Esc'ing after "C",
and then "M" explicitly, as I can't get the hang of whether
the "M" mode is active or not.
I'd still like a pervasive "infix Y/n" setting that causes a
consistent behavior, or to redefine specific commands to
an infix behavior locally.
I wish I could figure out what I messed up here ... I'm not aware of having spoiled the key bindings. Whenever I try it looks kind of consistent.
But maybe I should explain what happens here. Hopefully then it becomes kind of clearer.
If you look at the key bindings, this is the virgin setup with a fresh configuration:
The entries from "edit_menu.undo", Cell List Context Menu and Layer Panel Context Menu should not matter here.
What's important is that there are two "paste" functions: the standard one at the top (Edit/Paste) and a hidden one "paste_interactive" which is the one that enters "move" mode after trigger.
Ideally you bind both to different key strokes, so Ctrl+V stays the normal version and the "paste_interactive" is a different one, like this:
In this case, you'd enter "Paste+Move" with Ctrl+Shift+V, and Ctrl+V is the normal case.
If you want "Ctrl+V" to be mapped to "Paste+Move" you could swap both modes:
This should make "Ctrl+V" become "Paste+Move". I think something like this happened to Laurent.
If you want "normal paste" to become entirely unbound to a key, clear the edit box with the key binding entirely:
To restore the default again, click on the "clear" icon in the text box.
There are also "interactive" variants for "move" and "duplicate" for which the same applies.

Hi Matthias,
, but it id due to my computer : it does not crash on a second computer.
I use the latest 0.26.4 version of last week-end, and both edit_menu.paste and paste_interactive react the way : paste + move
No way for me to have only : paste
But the worst, if I hit M then a target, KLayout crashes
Laurent
That's bad ... I need to check this.

Hi Laurent,
I see ... it's broken in the master branch (confusing I admit, I did not bump the version yet). 0.26.x should be fine. I'll try to fix this and publish the development branch as 0.27.
However, I can't reproduce a crash on "M" ("move" I assume) yet
Matthias
I have fixed the bug .. on the download page this is filed as version "0.27", but it's in fact the development head.
Best regards,
Matthias
