Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages One should be able to select (with the mouse) some text in the kompare sub-windows. KDE applications are usually well flexible with respect to text selection. What a pity that it is not possible in kompare which precisely compares texts.
Yup, I agree. Will see what I can do for the 3.5/4.0 development cycle since work is killing me atm. It would be even better if you can supply me with a patch.
This is gonna be a little spammy... I'm reassigning everything that's currently assigned to bruggie (who's been the default assignee for bugs since time began) to the new list address. Bruggie: if you're working on one or more of these atm, please snatch 'em back.. Everyone, esp. Joshua and Bruggie: if this genrates 33 mails, my sincere apologies..
I agree that this would be fantastic! I've often used winmerge to merge files and find it very useful to be able to select parts of a difference that I want to be merged rather than having to merge an entire difference. This could also be done by selecting a line on which to split a difference into two.

I agree for adding this feature. It should be useful :-) Thanks!
Is it really NEW after 5.5 years?
@Orgad: unfortunatly yes, the feature has never been implemented :( Probably because nobody is really developing this useful app :-(
> Is it really NEW after 5.5 years? 1. This is a feature request. By definition, this puts it at the very bottom of my priority list. There is no guarantee that requested features will be implemented, ever. 2. Implementing the feature requires completely redesigning how Kompare works. It currently uses a list view, which means it's impossible to select across multiple lines. It would probably be possible to allow selecting stuff within a line (but even that would be a lot of work since the text is custom drawn, it's not a standard list view where you can just enable the "edit on 2 clicks"), but this is probably not what you want. This makes it even more unlikely the feature will be implemented, ever. > Probably because nobody is really developing this useful app :-( I am fixing bugs in it, or at least trying to, but I could indeed use help, especially when it comes to implementing feature. I have basically no time to add any features at all.
I believe you can at least allow selecting of a whole difference (not an arbitrary selection, but a block) and copying it to the clipboard.
Even with custom widgets, it doesn't seem that hard to implement. Get the mouse coordinates, convert to row & column numbers, change background, add to the X mouse buffer, and add "copy" to the menu. But no, not just two clicks... By the way, #188287 is a duplicate.
