Bug: Ctrl-Shift-V no longer works in the search box

Robert Kelbe

I believe this bug is related to this release note:

Rich Text Editors

• Right-clicking in a text box that isn’t a rich text box will no longer have a “Paste without formatting” option. Example, resource reference picker (John 1:1).

Sometimes, by habit, I sometimes naturally ctrl-shift-V to paste without "extra stuff". I tried to do that in the search box and nothing happened. Even if you remove the right-click menu option, you should still allow ctrl-shift-V, since ctrl-shift-V should always work, everywhere. It is confusing for the user for ctrl-shift-V to do nothing at all.

Thanks for alerting me to the keyboard shortcut. But it does nothing when I paste into the Search box of Logos 42.1/Verbum 43 Beta 2 and right-clicking only allows Paste (Ctrl+V). The same applies to the Command Box. The shortcut works in the Reference box of resources (both versions of the App) BUT the right-click no longer has "Paste without formatting" as per the Beta Release Note. So I don't believe your report is a Bug.

Ctrl+Shift+V is not listed in the Logos Help resource and its application is inconsistent e.g. in features with Rich Text Editors, the shortcut does nothing in Clippings whilst it does work in Notes, Sermon Manager, and Bible Study. It appears to be a global shortcut as it works in MS Word, so it may have 'leaked' into some features and probably should not be allowed where "Paste without formatting" has been removed!
