How to copy and paste in Matlab Online?

Dear Matlab Users

I'm currently using Firefox on mac for Matlab Online editor.

I can't copy and paste, variables in my script. Command+c and command+v is not working.

Is this browser related problem?

What is the Firefox version you are using?

I'm having the same problem, and I have version 68.0.2 64-bit.

I'm using Google Chrome, version 76.0.3809.132, copy and paste works now.

I'm having the same problem

[miguel ramirez martin]

Me too , the context menu on the right button is not offering options for copy or paste

Ahmet,

I just had the same problem and looked it up.

Here is a way to get around it:

After you run your code, you can type in the command window clipboard('copy',data) here "data" is your variable. Once you run the command then a pop-up window will give you the variable in a vector form (in a square bracket). You can then CTRL+C that and paste to wherever you want.

TIP1: Don't hit the backspace on your keyboard. It will exit from the Matlab Online

TIP2: Paste it to Excel where you can also use the Text to Columns function. (CTRL+arrow) would take you to the last data and then (CTRL+SHIFT+arrow) should highlight the dataset.

Good luck,

EB

Copy/paste does not appear in the rt click context menu. You should be able to use the appropriate keyboard shortcuts for your system. For windows:

• ctrl + C to copy
• ctrl + X to cut
• ctrl + V to paste

sorry but its not working

[Walter Roberson]

The original report was for Mac. If you happen to be using Mac then the keys are

• ⌘C - copy
• ⌘X - cut
• ⌘V - paste

I have the same problem. Funnily enough it all worked of last week.

[Cris LaPierre]

Try in a different browser. Try restarting your browser and/or your computer. Make sure you are using the appropriate keyboard shortcut for your OS.

If it still is not working, you should report this to customer support.

Doesnt work on Chrome

[Cris LaPierre]

It does. Perhaps you could explain what you are trying to copy that is not working?

I have the same problem, when I try ctrl+C nothing happens. And when I try ctrl+v it makes my cursor jump a few lines.
