Cadence Schematic Composer: copying and pasting in forms

Hi,

I have a (hopefully) easy question: How do you copy and paste in
Cadence Schematic Composer??? I am using Cadence on Linux.

Control-C and Control-V do not work..


Thanks!!

circuit student,

I use UNIX, but it seems wierd to me that it would be different in
Linux, so here's how I copy in Cadence Schematic Composer:

Use the left cursor to highlight what part of the schematic you want to
copy. Press c. Left click on the highlighted portion and drag to
where ever you need to copy it to (this includes a new schematic
composer window as long as you do not close the previous window).

You can also go to the menu options at the top and copy/paste.

I hope this helps. If not, clarify what you are doing and I will try
to check back later to help some more.

If you are referring to copying - pasting text in the forms:
Here is one way:
Select the text first with left mouse button
Go to the destination form and middle click to paste
Works as long as the selection exists in the original form.
Another way:
Control+Insert to copy the selected text.
Shift+Insert to paste it.

Other use full bindkeys:
Ctrl+A to go to the beginning of the text field.
Ctrl+E to go to the end of the text field.
Ctrl+U to clear the text left of the mouse position.

 

Thanks for the reply. I actually meant copying and pasting in the text
forms of a schematic, such as the property field of an object.

Best,
c.s.

 

Hello,

This is exactly what I needed! I googled for these kind of shortcuts
but could not find them. Actually eventually I did figure out to
Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert thanks to SSH in Windows has those spelled
out as shortcuts, but the last 3 key bindings will be VERY useful!

Best,
c.s.

 

Hello there
you can also use ctrl+u to delete from the mouse position
till home i.e. a complete can be deleted by pressing ctrl+u
in the end position only

Note that Control-C is hardwired as an interrupt in Cadence DFII executables.

In IC 5.1.41 and previous releases, the following key translations are added
to text fields (assuming they are HI text fields, and not native Motif), in
addition to the standard Motif text translations (I think a lot of these are
adopted from emacs):

Meta<Key>b: backward-word()
Meta<Key>d: delete-next-word()
Meta<Key>f: forward-word()
Meta<Key>h: delete-previous-word()
Meta<Key>osfBackSpace: delete-previous-word()
Meta<Key>osfDelete: delete-next-word()
Ctrl<Key>a: beginning-of-line()
Ctrl<Key>b: backward-character()
Ctrl<Key>c: end-of-line() delete-to-start-of-line()
Ctrl<Key>d: delete-next-character()
Ctrl<Key>e: end-of-line()
Ctrl<Key>f: forward-character()
Ctrl<Key>h: delete-previous-character()
Ctrl<Key>k: delete-to-end-of-line()
Ctrl<Key>u: delete-to-start-of-line()
Ctrl<Key>w: delete-selection()
<Key>osfEndLine: end-of-line()
<Key>osfBeginLine: beginning-of-line()
<Key>End: end-of-line()
<Key>Home: beginning-of-line()

In IC 5.2.51 and following releases, I believe we just adopt the standard
Qt meanings for key actions within text widgets.

Control-C, Control-V, Control-X, etc., are Windows standards, not Unix/Linux
standards. Some programs and desktops have adopted them under Unix/Linux, but
the typical X windows behavior is to have dedicated keys for Copy/Paste and/or
use the mouse -- left mouse button to select, middle mouse button to paste.
