Hi,

Its my first dive into kde / qt / c++ and I'm not doing to well.
I'm trying to add keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste to/from the clipboard to quadkonsole.
Quadkonsole uses Kparts to embed multiple konsoleparts into a single window.

I was able to change the default paste shortcuts that already existed, but I'm having problems adding a copy function to which I can bind a shortcut.

I tried to implement the copyClipboard method as it is done here: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/…928&view=markup

Unfortunately I haven't had much luck getting this figured out.

Have I simply bitten off more than a brand-newbie can chew here? Can anyone give me some advice or possibly a snippet showing me how to retrieve the currently selected text from a Kpart widget (or more specifically the konsolepart widget)?

Thanks for the help.

I found another similar project called yakuake and there is a note there from the developer that kparts widgets have no method of grabbing the currently selected text ... bummer.
