Which editor do you use?
-
Ignore my previous answer. You can copy and paste without going to HTML editor. Use the advanced tool bar. It has a text paste option. Also, see this thread:

[bluemoon:One quick question while we are on this topic … is it only me that cannot cut and paste while using this editor? I have to go into html editor to do that.]
Hit Ctrl+v to copy/paste too.

PLus info
That would only work if you are using IE
And 70% of ppl now switched to firefox
and if u Alt-B on firefox it will only go for the Bookmark menu
(which made me clueless for the first 3 minutes)
then later the 6th sense tell me that u guys must still be using the IEand voila…

:) Yes I use Ctrl+v to paste in Fx too.
Alt+b brings up the advanced toolbar in the
visual rich editor as well.
Shrug. lol -

Yes ampin I sure can. But… it does disappear sometimes, in the middle of drafting a post.
So I just have to alt+b again to make it show.
Who knows what the deal is. Computers can be full of surprizes. -
ampin: click inside the Rich Text Editor before you hit Alt-B in Firefox.
I use Firefox exclusively, and I’ve had no prob with Alt-B.

Just did some testing, the issue is definitely that the Rich Text Editor hasn’t taken control of the keyboard input yet because you haven’t clicked/typed anything in it yet.

just did a test
yep u do have to type something first
and then press the alt b
now it works perfectly

OK Rich txt editing is on, and I have tried both ie, and firefox, and the most I get is bolded type, no extra selections for formating or spell check. Are you folks running beta’s of wordpress? I am using 2.0.4
Are you people using a special toolbar or anything like that, maybe I dont have something installed that others do. Just a thought.

one difference I’ve noticed between Rich Text Editor and regular editor. Rich Text Editor will strip out the BGCOLOR tags on tables, but regular will leave them in.

Hi,
After i installed firefox 2, i can’t use keystroke Alt+… on rich text editor, why?
If i press Alt+V, it go to View on firefox 2 menu
If i press Alt+B, it go to Bookmarks on firefox 2 menu, etc. -
-
Note that Ctrl V doesn’t always work in IE. For no reason I can determine, sometimes it simply refuses to paste it in, acting as if nothing’s happened. You then need to right-click and paste, which causes the whole post to judder horribly and then bounce you back to the beginning. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t.

Rain, I always click within teh editor box before doing a CTRL-V. That way, it’s highlighted.
Hope this helps,
