    <p>Regarding copy/paste support between Tk and other Apps, this <a href="http://wiki.tcl.tk/14035" rel="nofollow">wiki page</a> sums it up:</p> <blockquote> <p>Q9. When I copy from a Tcl/Tk app on OS X, then quit that app, the text I copied doesn't appear in the system-wide paste buffer.<br> I need to switch focus to something else while the Tk app is still running for cross-app copy/paste to work as expected. I'm using Tcl/Tk 8.10 on Leopard, though I had the same problem with 8.7 on Tiger. Any way around this?</p> <p>A9. SLB: I cannot answer specifically for OS X but a similar problem occurs on Windows.<br> I did investigate that and found that Windows provides two methods for storing information in the clipboard: </p> <ul> <li>you can copy the textinto the clipboard or </li> <li>you can store in the clipboard a reference to the application holding the text. </li> </ul> <p>The latter is more efficient when the amount of text is very large but means the information is lost when the application terminates.<br> <strong>This is the only form of copy offered by Tk</strong>.<br> Resolving it would require a TIP to extend clipboard support in Tk.</p> </blockquote> <p>So copy/paste between an app and a Tk app might not be easy right now...</p> <hr> <p>Original answer:</p> <p>Having work with <code>gitk</code> all day long today, I can see there is no "focus" even on the left-bottom panel of <code>gitk</code>, where diff of content are displayed. </p> <p>I.e. clicking in that panel doesn't trigger anything for the other panels.</p> <p>In other words, the <code>gitk</code> GUI doesn't monitor the mouse click/selection events in that panel, and only native clipboard capability applies in it. </p> <p>It seems coherent that the '<code>Edit</code>' menu don't reflect any copy/paste entry, since <code>gitk</code> don't monitor those selections events.<br> As it is, '<code>Edit</code>' is only there to edit the preferences.</p>

    1. COI agree that only the native OS keys work for copy/paste. But the question is still why can't it be aware? I notice that if I copy to the pasteboard before running gitk, the pasteboard gets cleared. This can be annoying if you have just located the precise SHA that you want to focus on and then have to go back to another app to find/copy it again so that you can paste it into gitk...

    3. COThank you for that update. In the use case under consideration, the 'gitk' process is not terminated so the clipboard information is available. You can, in fact, perform copy/paste with ctrl-C ctrl-V from the keyboard. So again, why no menu item as is mostly standard?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
