Hi,
What do you mean by AS400 clipboard?
Do you mean in ops navigator or a 5250 emulator or something else?

We're not sure what you mean by clipboard but one place with an unusual interface is the Cliet Access
5250 screen. This does not use Ctl-x, Ctl-c, or Ctl-V. On these you must use the Edit/Copy and Edit/Paste
or the icons for edit / paste.

This is a WINDOZE function.
You can modify the Keyboard file to emulate these functions.
From a 5250 screen, Edit > Preferences > Keyboard > Customize button.
"click" 'V' keyboard button. Lower right panel with Ctrl should have '[edit-paste]'.
Or create your own.

thanks PSMurray - I don't know if that's what the user wanted but can use it?
Couldn't do that on the real 5250! +

If you think back – ALt-E, C and ALt-E, P are the original ‘standards’ which Mickeysoft have altered to Ctr-v and Ctr-C
Anyone but MS would have used Ctr-P for ‘paste’ – why the heck did they invent ‘v’ ? just because it’s next to C on the keyboard??
Anyway – if you want pastes of screens use ALt-E, A Alt-E,c to get all the screen into the PC notepad, then Ctrl-V to paste, and you get a nice character view of your screen – if you set up a macro in Openoffice, Wordperfect – or Word, iif you must, then it sets the font to courier at 9 point, puts a box around the inseet, and shades the background to 5% grey – r whatever colour.
Saves about a gazillion bytes of MS bitmap, and is highly readable to boot.
Hi,
I guess Ctrl-P was already taken for Print…. but there must have been better options than Ctrl-V – how about Ctrl-I for insert?
