"Copy" works using Edit | Copy but not using Ctrl+C.

Refer to bug 24738.
Doesn't seem to be my problem.  View source's XUL is owned by XPApps.

I see this on Linux too (021909).

^C copying in the view source window is working for me using 2000-03-01-08-M15 
on WinNT, pasting to the URL bar and to notepad and wordpad.

Simon said he might be able to help with this.

The view source window has no menubar or anything, so I've no idea how the user 
is supposed to do a copy on Windows/Unix. On Mac, it seems to just show up with 
the menubar from the browser window.

the owner of this window needs to make some menus for it, with keybindings.
Assignee: sfraser → law
Shouldn't it be possible to hook up XBL key bindings here?  Seems like you
shouldn't need menus in order to get bindings like Copy.
Right now, any specific problem with ctrl-c for copy in the view source window 
will be masked by bug 33676, "keyboard shortcuts don't work in Source window",
regression.

While it might be possible to get keybindings without menus, having Edit>Copy
etc. adds accessibility, and some of the other menu items could be useful
when viewing source - see bug 32719, "Menus missing entirely from View Source 
Window", also a regression.
I'm reassigning this to Ben because he already has a bug for pretty much the 
same problem; i.e., removal of browser chrome from view source window disables 
lots of necessary functionality.  The other bug was re: Ctrl-W to close the 
window.

push out a little, can't squeeze this in right now.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Target Milestone: --- → M20
Given the number of duplicates and that it works in the browser, adding relnote 
and helpwanted keywords so it can be added to release notes.  Also, maybe someone 
else can help out.

*** Bug 38018 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
On linux, if i try to select with mouse in "view source" window, i can't select
beyond the first <
Only the < gets selected, and then blocks further selection.

-If i place cursor *after* the < everything after it can be selected *except*
the LAST character: >

-If i place cursor at the end of source and select "backwards" towards top, all
except the last > and the first < gets selected.

I mention this here cause it seems to be the "alpha and omega" of copying that
is getting blocked somehow. The phenomenas are mentioned in bug 36408.

The selection problem is actually bug #36408.
This bug (copying within the window) is a separate issue (missing keybindings).

It would be really useful if alt-f (find) and alt-g (find again) worked in the
view source page...

I believe this is fixed on all platforms now that the source is no longer 
generated content.  Please reopen if I'm mistaken...

Does anyone know what's happening with view-source?  Is it staying plain-text, 
or will it be converted to HTML (as opposed to whatever it was before)?  Bug 
numbers?
