edit-on Pro Technical FAQ

edit-on Pro provides a "Paste Special" dialog which enables you to choose between following paste behaviours:

• Paste: Inserts the content of the clipboard in HTML format including style information.
   
• Paste With Filter: Inserts the content of the clipboard in HTML format without styles.
   
• Paste Plain Text: Inserts the content of the clipboard without any formatting or styles.
   
• Paste With Style Sheets: Inserts the content of the clipboard in HTML format with styles contained in an embedded style sheet. Imported styles will be merged with existing style sheets.

You can configure the "Paste Special" dialog within the config.xml file by setting the prompt attribute of "true". If set to true, the "Paste Special" dialog will be opened and present the selection of the paste types whenever content is pasted from MS Word.

Of course, it is possible to specify a PASTE action which will be selected by default.

1. In order to adjust the keyboard shortcut (Strg+ V), which executes the PASTE action by default, please specify the following setting within your uiconfig.xml file, e.g.:

<uiconfig>
    <actions>
        <action id="PASTEPLAINTEXT">
            <shortcut id="control V"/>
        </action>
    </actions>
...
</uiconfig>

For more information please review the edit-in Pro Integration Manual at "Shortcut"

2. In order to adjust the drag and drop option, please use this setting, e.g.:

<uiconfig>
    <actions>       
        <dragndropaction actionid="DRAGNDROPPLAINTEXT" />
        <action id="PASTEPLAINTEXT">
            <shortcut id="control V"/>
        </action>
    </actions>
...
</uiconfig>

3. In order to adjust the "Paste" button within the editors toolbar, please change the following setting accordingly, e.g.:

<uiconfig>
...
    <toolbar collapse="false">
        <button actionid="PASTEPLAINTEXT" />
...
</uiconfig>
