Question Copy/Past in VR

Is there a plugin for copy/paste in VR? I thought I had seen a plugin for this but can't find it. Thanks

What do you mean by copy/paste in VR? Could you be more specific?

Hey @14mhz! Big fan

Any field that has copyable text such as atom's name, clothing tag fields, save fields like in scenes and saves for presets, anywhere that has text you can copy.

One use case is I frequently save an appearance preset with a very long specific name so I can find it later among my 100's of other organized presets and I want to save and name the associated morph preset the exact same naming scheme so I'd copy/paste the appearance preset name and paste it into the morph preset naming field and save that - often the paths and names are very long since I have well organized deep folder path system. In VR this is a nightmare.

Let me know if I can help clarify further

Thank you for responding!

Okei, I see you needed a text clipboard function in VR-world !!!

I have looked at the links below.

Solved - Any way to copy & paste in VR

Anyone know how to copy text, say a person's name, and be able to paste it without leaving VR - is that possible?

--> They say there is no way as of now.

Plugins + Scripts - Keybindings

Keybindings allows binding to actions and joysticks that have been published for this purpose, but it cannot bind to any storable. You can ask MacGruber though :)

--> In KeyBinding Plugin, the original author, acidbubble, says that VR is not supported.

--> It could be possible, but it doesn't say that copy&paste works. Let's check it out.

If the feature doesn't exist, we (you and me) have to create it.
If we make it simple, we can create virtual key-events that can be used with ctrl+c and ctrl+v using the VR controller by using key operation (maybe multiple LR simultaneous select or grap key ?)
otherwise, make it complicated, we can create a UI like a text pad, create preset copy items, and implement copy & paste by manipulating the VR controller.
Any good ideas?

Wow, excellent ideas! How about a 3 second hold to copy on a less used button or one we can configure and a 6 second hold on that same button to paste, and a triple tap resets the function? Sounds like a plugin though, which I'd need help making as it'd be a noob 1st for this guy

The basic implementation is complete, but the actions are not defined yet.
We are given the left, right controller with select and grab keys. For copy or paste, what action would you like to take?
For example,
in the case of the mouse, actions such as copying by setting the text area with the left key and pasting by clicking with the right key (or with a delay of 0.5 sec) are possible.
This method is used in the putty terminal, which is widely used by developers.
The same goes for the VR controller, actions such as copying by setting the text area with the left select key and pasting by clicking with the right select key (or with a delay of 0.5 sec) are possible.
In components that have focus, such as TextField, the select event does not work. (If you don't use valueVR, select key operation is fully possible. This is because access to the Value object is blocked in VaM)
So, I think you should go with the method of specifying the area to copy with select, copying with the LeftGrab button, and pasting with the RightGrab button.
Any good ideas?

to @cmramlow ,
I created a plugin with your idea. We are the same resource team, one team.
Try using the plugin below.
