Can't copy help contents using keyboard shortcut

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi everybody, I'm using Matlab 2013b in windows 7, I can't copy the contents of help browser to the clipboard using keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+c). I changed it in the preferences, and only (Ctrl+insert) works for me. (Ctrl+c) is not defined for any other action, it's just for copying. Now I defined both (Ctrl+c) and (Ctrl+insert) for copy but (Ctrl+c) works everywhere except in help browser and (Ctrl+insert) works everywhere. But I want to be able to use (Ctrl+c) in the help browser. What's wrong with this?

Executing an example from the help by selecting its code and then press F9 doesn't work either. Really annoying...

When you're interacting with help, it's almost like a different application. The help is not designed or set up do execute code within the help application. I mean, if you highlighted code here in Answers and hit F9 you wouldn't expect it to do anything (like create plots or whatever) would you? Those application(s) just are not designed to recognize that an F9 means to execute MATLAB code like the MATLAB code editor or command window are.

Yes, that was a bug that was introduced back around then and lasted a version of two, though for some reason it does not appear on the bug report list. Probably for this reason:

We had to use control-insert to copy help documentation text into the clipboard. I agree, it was very annoying. It has since been fixed and no longer exists in current versions. If you want the fixed MATLAB version, you'll have to upgrade to the current MATLAB version.

Thank you :D
So I should pay money then Mathworks let me copy from documentation by Ctrl+c? It's not fair! But thank you for your help.

Yeah, it would be awesome for us users if all software manufacturers would give users the next version for free if any bug were found in the current version. However the world does not work that way.

The boring work around :
"You can also work around the Ctrl+C issue by using Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert to copy and paste text."
