Question by Subhajit-Nath · Nov 29, 2013 at 07:51 AM · monodevelopcopypaste

MonoDevelop 4.0.1 Copy / Paste Issue

I am using Unity 4.3 with MonoDevelop 4.0.1 on Windows. Somehow Mono can't copy text from external applications like Google Chrome or Notepad. The the text is getting copied to clipboard as I can paste from Chrome to Notepad. But in Mono I can't paste text somehow.

Am I the only one with this problem? Any solutions?

Hi i've got the same Problem on two different Workstations.

This is really annoying!

In Addition the filetabs don't work for me. I can't interact with them and have to Switch files with either + or the solution Explorer.

I am working with Windows 7 on both PCs and Unity 4.3 ($$anonymous$$onoDevelop 4.0.1)

Tabs are working for me though. ctrl+tab

Hope Unity's next update will fix this.

This issue still exists in $$anonymous$$onoDevelop 5.9.6.

But thankfully we have alternatives now. We can switch to Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code.

Closing $$anonymous$$onoDevelop and opening NotePad++ works for me..

Here's a method that works without needing to restart $$anonymous$$onodevelop: if you use "Save As" to save any of the open files to a different name, pasting will now work on all the open files. Not sure why this works but it does, at least on my version.

Answer by Davidovich · Dec 22, 2013 at 04:42 PM

I had the same issue and found a solution here.

If you have ever used Xamarin monodevelop it installs GTKSharp and doesn't clean up after itself when uninstalled. Unity's version was incorrectly using the Program Files(x86)\GTKSharp libraries instead of the local ones in Unity\Monodevelop\lib\gtksharp-2.0 . After removing the other copy in program files I can now paste.

After uninstalling gtk# for .NET from the Programs and Features control panel and restarting monodevelop I could copy and paste happily.

Well, I don't have Xamarin monodevelop or GT$$anonymous$$Sharp installed. :(

I did once install Xamarin, so thanks.

I have $$anonymous$$onoDevelop (5.9.6) and this works for me. It's worth mentioning that I had to re-install GT$$anonymous$$ from Unity folder after uninstalling it. The installer is located here: C:\Program Files\Unity\$$anonymous$$onoDevelop\GT$$anonymous$$Sharp\gtk-sharp.msi

I sometimes get this problem. Whenever I have problems I close all open tabs then I use Build -> Clean All, and then Build -> Build All and then restart MonoDevelop. Seems to work, most of the time....

I seen a solution to this somewhere that worked for me. It was to hold ctrl and press right arrow then left arrow. Going back and forth seemed to fix it for me once.

Removing "gtk# for .NET" and installing it again worked fine for me. Thanks !
