How to disable copying not selected lines

    Sometimes I inadvertently hit CTRL-C when I mean to hit CTRL-V. This clears out my clipboard buffer and then I have to go copy the text again and paste again. I hate this. Is there a solution?

    Thanks

      What you're experiencing probably has to do with the "copy/cut current line when no selection is active" option.

      Advanced -> Configuration -> Editor -> Miscellaneous -> Enable copy/cut of current line when no selection is active

      Try disabling/unchecking that option (I have it disabled because I also sometimes hit Ctrl+C when I meant to hit Ctrl+V).

        Maybe (meaning, not tested):

        Assign this macro to Ctrl+C:
        Clipboard 1
        Copy
        Clipboard 0
        Copy

        Assign this macro to Ctrl+1
        Clipboard 1
        Paste


        When you screwed up a paste, just hit Ctrl+1 to paste your backup of the most recent copy operation.

        If this works, you could use any of the UE clipboards. You might have to dedicate one of them to this function to avoid unanticipated problems.

          This cures my pain. Thank you. BTW, what functionality did I loose by disabling this?
