Hi,
I would like to copy the selected text from a read-only EditField to the clipboard. The current keyboard handling routine only allows copy from an editable EditField.

Please add the below lines to EditField::Key(dword key, int rep), before the points where it returns if the field is non-editable (line 828 in my version):

	case K_CTRL_C:
	case K_CTRL_INSERT:
		Copy();
		return true;

Thanks,
Sandor

Weird, I have just tested and it works without this patch.

See the line 830:

	if(!IsEditable())
		return MenuBar::Scan(WhenBar, key);

-> this reroutes the key of ReadOnly editfield to the menubar processing, where it gets recognized by line 777:

	menu.Add(IsSelection(), t_("Copy"), CtrlImg::copy(), THISBACK(Copy))
		.Key(K_CTRL_INSERT)
		.Key(K_CTRL_C);

The only possibility how this does not work is when you have replaced the toolbar by setting EditField::WhenBar (you might want to call StdBar in your bar routine in that case to fix it).
