Copy and paste codes in chat

[Darkness01101]

You don’t need software, unless a newer patch messed with things. But back in March 2020, I posted this thread, where I learned (in the last post in that thread) you need to use CTRL+A to select your text, and then you can CTRL+C (copy) and CTRL+V (paste). You can get very fast at entering cheat codes this way

[SUGGESTION for Chat] Allow SHIFT + HOME key to select text in Chat window, so Copy/Cut/Paste will work

Edited the thread title and this post due to revelations discovered during thread replies. We need the ability to use SHIFT + HOME key to select text in chat, so we can Copy (CTRL+C), Cut (CTRL+X), or Paste (CTRL+V) that text. Ao2:HD allows for this, as does every other piece of software I’ve used for a long time (Microsoft Word, Notepad, this forum, AoE2:HD, e-mail programs, etc.). For me, it’s second-nature to use it. Since it doesn’t work, it made me think I couldn’t copy/paste cheat codes…

I think the flow goes like this:

1. Type cheat code
2. Press CTRL+A
3. Press CTRL+C
4. Press ENTER twice quickly
5. Press CTRL+V
6. Press ENTER twice quickly
7. Press CTRL+V
8. Press ENTER twice quickly

…and so on.

If the game’s not fixed yet per what I mentioned in that thread about SHIFT+HOME, drag-selecting words, and entering long strings of text, then I wish it would be
