Copy and paste

[still kicking]

For years, one could just copy and paste anything from the news not anymore. What I do wrong, and many other posters?

Web sites can restrict the ability of the user to use the right click on your mouse.  When the publisher does that the copy/paste function cannot be used.

 

What is the specific web site that is not allowing you to copy?

[Mutt Daeng]

Keyboard shortcuts will still often work when mouse right-click is disabled.

 

Press Ctrl + C (or Ctrl + Insert) to copy highlighted text to the clipboard

Press Ctrl + X to cut highlighted text, placing it in the clipboard

Press Ctrl + V (or Shift + Insert) to paste text from the clipboard

 

For anything else, you would need to provide examples of what you are trying to do, as suggested by @gamb00ler above.

Here's one that I was just made aware of a few days ago.  Can't select text or open a context menu.  Ctrl-A for select all doesn't work.

 

Any workarounds?

Find a solution for the OP who apparently wants to copy/paste from sites that have set these type of restrictions.

 

He/she could take screen shots but that's not as convenient.

Editing screenshots was the only suggestion that I thought of. Depends how badly he wants to do it I guess.

I think this is his second or third thread on the same subject..........

Yes, it is true that some websites turn off copying their text.

 

In Firefox, there is a fix: install this add-on: "Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy"

The internet will have a bunch of workarounds.

 

At worst you could screenshot it and feed it into OCR or AI
