Copy & Paste?

[Rhodan]

Is there some sort of copy/paste functionality available further into the game? I'm enjoying everything so far, but memorizing all those door names and having to re-type the same bits of code over and over again gets a little tedious.
I'd love some sort of Modifier upgrade that allows more advanced text editing.

In a similar vein, has anyone found a tool that lets you append code to other objects? Similar to a sink, but portable.

Hi, Rhodan.
You can use CTRL-C, CTRL-V and CTRL-X as you usually would.
Just take an old floppy disk and store the names and code snippets on there. Then you can copy stuff over to your programm.

It will be neat to be able to select specific lines of code with some hotkeys, Ctrl+UP, Ctrl+DOWN for example. An yeah, it will be great to let extractor save name on clipboard, it's hard to remember a name of entity and type it on floppy without mistakes.

That seems to be possible https://youtu.be/cceYLbmpjMM?t=450 (jump to 7:30 if steam eats the video position again), but how?

Edit:

Found these shortcuts so far:

Ctrl+Up/Down (Cursor jumps to top/bottom of document)
Ctrl+Left/right (Cursor jumps to beginning/ end of line)
Shift+Left/Right (Select characters one at a time.)
Shift+Up/Down (Selects lines)

[Rhodan]

Oh! It seems like "shift+arrow keys" lets you select text and then copy it with the hotkeys. This is amazing, now I can turn all those fuseboxes in my personal teleporters with ease.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. But what about entity names? Is it possible to copy them?

[Saldek]

Another two perhaps:
Shift+End (Select to end of line)
Shift+Home (Select to beginning of line)

@9214
In my post about sinks and coffee there's a method for copying entity names. They get sent to a sink and are then appended to a coffee cup. Yeah, strange, I know :p
Don't know if it's actually supposed to work. So it could be a bug and removed soon... Still, might be worth checking out.

[9214]

Yeah, some sort of portable sink should be nice, I like how you played around with it :P

[Saldek]

Thanks :)
The method, though strange, works really well. It's remained stable for hours. A neat thing is that you can have any object that can connect to the sink send info to your cup. For example, I let the fuse boxes and computers send me their names. Just copy a bit of code into them and run once.

On computer or fuse box:

string name = Name () # or GetName()

var sinkCon = connectToSink()
sinkCon.appendStuff(name)

void connectToSink()
    string sinkName = "CasinoWorkerApartment1_Poor_WaterTap_Poor_WaterTap_2"
    var sinkCon = Connect(sinkName)
    return sinkCon
end

appendStuff() is a method on the sink:

void appendStuff(stuff)
    AppendCode(stuff)
end

Sink append stuff is really useful!

now i have a beer that store rooms names when i drink

sinkCon.AppendStuff('#' + GetUser() + ' room ' + room )
