[chirp_users] Cut and paste issue?
Greetings! New user here, Still getting used to the software so I can get back on the air after eight years of no radio. (It sucked.)
While working the software and rearranging a few layouts (using a BF-F9V2+), I noticed that Ctrl-X seems to behave much like Ctrl-C: it will copy, but it will not delete the original memory location once I have pasted elsewhere using Ctrl-V. I'm using XFCE on Debian Jessie at this time and running the daily from 20160517. This seems to be the only program where there are issues.
Any words on this?
Thanks, -Dennis KE7KIF
I noticed the same thing...in a sense. I can right mouse click (RMC) a field and paste into it, but I can't ctrl-x, c, v in a field. I can ctrl-a, though. The Kenwood program is similar...RMC is OK, but an attempt to ctrl-v garners an error. The error there is misleading, so it took me some gambling to figure it out.
The ctrl keys here would be nice...Windows 10 Pro x64.

Dennis,
Once you cut a memory it will go grey. After you have pasted your cut that location is now open to add another frequency into its spot even though it shows as a greyed out.

I should probably rephrase. It doesn't remove the settings from the old memory slot - this, in my mind, would be the correct behavior.

Are you saying that after pasting, seeing the old line greyed out, and uploading to the radio, that channel is still usable in the radio?
I don't know how the BF-F9V2+ works, but on many Chirp radios there is two stage delete: the first delete or ctrl-x will mask the channel. This is illustrated in Chirp by light gray text. The data will still be in the radio, but you won't be able to recall or tune it (common on Yaesu radios). The second delete will zero out the channel so there is no evidence of it ever being there.

Well they are gone. Click the [Refresh] button and you will see the memory row is empty. And if you look at the saved "image" file, you will see that all 16 bytes of the memory have been cleared.

There it is, Jim, that's just what I needed - the refresh button showed me the empty memory slot on the screen. Now if I can just get the F5 key to map to Refresh....
