OK, this is getting weird. I can do it as you said Keith, but when I went to one of my blogs, that method didn't work, and yet selecting text in the old way did, and copy seems to be working fine again. all in sl. very strange. and as long as it works one way or another, :)

Hi folks,

I can not only copy text by using the shift and the arrow keys, but, when I use shift-down arrow and copy line by line I can copy links as well on a website.

To make sure that we are comparing apples to apples, grin, wink, I am using the home page of icanworkthisthing.com

stop interacting after selecting was what I always did.

now, let's see. I've not tried keith's idea out in sl. I know it works in mail with shift and arrows...
Nope, safari behaves the same as before for me.

Hi folks,

I don't have a leopard computer up, but, in SnowLeopard there has been a change. You no longer need to use the old method, you can highlight text to be copied with shift and the arrow keys.

HTH.

Hi everyone,


Using Leopard...

For some strange reason, I am now unable to select and copy text in Safari. Well, I can select the text, but pressing command C doesn't copy the text and if I go into the edit menu, copy is showing as not being available. What might have happened? I was able to do this previously but I don't exactly know when it stopped working.

Here's what I do:

1. Interact with the text I wish to copy.
2. Press VO return to begin selecting.
3. VO right arrow to select the text I wish to copy.
4. Press VO return to stop selecting.
5. Press command C to copy, which right now doesn't actually work!

Thanks for any help with this,

Russell
