moderated Cannot copy text in Chrome

Arkadiusz Świętnicki <nuno69a@...>
 

Hi list,

Sometimes when in Chrome, I cannot copy the selection to the clipboard. It happens only with JAWS, and only with Chrome. What shall. I do?
Sieghard Weitzel
 

Open quick settings and search for “copy”, if your “Select and Copy ” says “Using on-screen highlight” try and change it to “From virtual cursor”.

I have the same issue with Firefox.
Think this is a known design flaw with jaws, which they have not been able to fix.
Would suggest calling support to see if they can provide any help.

I sometimes run into this. Sometimes doing a JAWS restart solves it. It can be frustrating.

Isn’t there a way to fix?

I don’t like it, honestly. Is there anything we can do about it? That’s a basic thing that should be fixed.

Can I call them outside the US? I am willing to do it even now.

BTW, a funny thing has happened. Your message said something along the lines “We can only report it to support”, right after my TTS finished reading it I heard a message from Outlook: “Not available outside the open message”

I do not know what the processes for non-US users to engage with support.

Also hopefully you’ll have better luck than I do. Every time I called, they tandems into my computer and all of a sudden the copy started to work.

Hi there. If you are in Chrome, you will want to change the following
setting. Press Insert plus V to access the Chrome Quick Settings. In
the search box, type copy. Use the arrow key to find the option that
says copy find the options. If it is set to copy content from screen,
hit your spacebar once. The option will change to copy from virtual
cursor. Use the tab key to move to the OK button and press enter. See
if this resolves your issue. Good luck!

I agree, this step will solve most problems copying passages from webpages while using Chrome. However, I have encountered several websites where I can't copy anything while using chrome. The Washington Post comes to mind, as does the Guardian. I can select text, but nothing happens when I press control-c. In the applications menu, "copy" is greyed out. In these cases, I have to open the same page in another browser, usually IE11, and make the copy there.

A fast way to get to the "copy" option in the JAWS quick settings menu is to type "copy" in the edit field when settings opens.

That could potentially be simply because the website doesn't let you copy anything. I am not a web developer, but I believe you can make it so copying just doesn't work.

You can, yes, although virtual buffer in JAWS for instance is supposed to circumvent this and usually does, but of course copying that way, you lose formatting and other stuff. Good enough for me to get away with it sometimes, though.
