I just applied that patch and pushed it to github.  Blake, can you try it and see if you still get errors?

Thx

I noticed that last night.

The GTK+ framework preserves text attributes during copy and paste.
Since the transcript text is not editable, neither is a pasted copy of
some selection of that text.

I'll see whether I can figure out how to override that behavior.

Meanwhile, you can use aplwrap's "copy-down" feature. Select some text
in the transcript and press Enter; the selection will be copied down to
the input area; this copy is editable.

Greetings,


If I type a line, before I hit enter I can backspace or arrow around
the line to edit it.  This is very convenient when you type in a long
line and realize you made a typo somewhere in the middle.  You are
able to correct the problem without retyping the rest of the line.


Unfortunately, sometime you want to copy from somewhere else, paste
the line where you are, and then make a small edit to it.  Aplwrap
will allow you to edit a line you type but not a line you paste.
 Treating the paste like a typed in line is very beneficial.


Thanks.


Blake
