Using ^C and ^V.

The code for this in the month and multiday views is going to be virtually identical.  For code sharing, it might be best place this in calendar-decorated-base-view, since that's something all the views will share.  (Or it might be time to start creating an undecorated base view for things like this.)  If we're going to put it in the decorated views, then this bug depends on bug 319701.

This doesn't seem like it's really related to the decoratedness of the view.  On the other hand, splitting off yet another XBL implementation just to achieve perfect semantic modularity on this front kinda seems like overkill.  Of course, that might give us a place to put the (eg) category santizing code as well.

Works in Sunbird still, because the handlers are actually external to the views.  We need Lightning to have undo-redo for this though, and also we probably need to finally create a selection-management service.  Right now the clipboard functions are always looking for gCalendarWindow.EventSelection.selectedEvents.  We need something that's more flexible.

[Joey Minta]

We've got enough undo/redo at this point for this to work, but we need some kind of coherent story related to selection.

The bugspam monkeys have struck again. They are currently chewing on default assignees for Calendar. Be afraid for your sanity!

Attachment: work in progress

Work in progress.

Open issues:
-Localize keyboard shortcuts.
-Do we want to tie in to the Thunderbird 'Edit' menu?  This brings up similar issues to the undo/redo bits.

Re-assigning my bugs to [e-mail] due to recent developments.

WFM using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070728 Thunderbird/2.0.0.6 ID:2007072817 and a current lightning tree.

Can anyone reproduce?

Comment 9

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen][☁️📆]]

This seems to have been fixed by bug 367110 for lightning, and also works fine with sunbird.

Tested on Ltn/Sb Windows 2000 and XP, also lightning on Solaris.

-> WORKSFORME
