How to copy text in gitk

Question

Can I copy source code in the left-bottom panel in gitk? Any keyboard shortcut or other functions?

OS: Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop / gitk: 1:1.6.0.4-1ubuntu2

Thank you.<

Answer 1

It should support the (X clipboard style) copy, even though a bug has been reported for that feature on Ubuntu:

gitk supports the normal X clipboard: select to copy, middle-click to paste.

My mouse does not have a middle button and select isn't copying.
It would be immensely useful to have:

• the copy and paste options available:
  • in the edit menu,
  • or right click menu,
• or supporting the standard Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v keyboard shortcuts.
