When you look at a SMS message in the KDE kdeconnect application, and want to copy partial text, this ain't possible as the SMS ain't of text type. You are forced to copy the whole text from the context menu and paste it to a text editor and then copy the text you wanted (kind of like having micorsoft windows). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Left click on the kdeconnect try icon 2. Open the menu in the popup (three lines icon on the right side) 3. Select "SMS Messages" 4. Right click on the latest message from someone 5. Move mouse pointer to the start of the text section you want to copy 6. Press down left mouse button and move the pointer to the end of the text section you want to copy OBSERVED RESULT No text is marked. EXPECTED RESULT Text should be marked and in the X windows clipboard SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Artix/Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.72.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0
I cannot send any messages with kde connect sms window
I didn't write the commit so it is not easy to look up, but support for partial-message and whole-message copy-paste was added awhile back. It's a little clunky, so I invite anyone interested to iterate and improve, but for the purpose of this bug I'm going to call it resolved.
