Copy and Paste in LWJGL without AWT?

Malohkan · June 25, 2006, 12:11am

I have some text fields I built for my LWJGL games to avoid using AWT’s bloat. In them I want to be able to hit ctrl+v to paste text. The only way I know to do that is with java.awt.Toolkit. But since this is LWJGL… we don’t want AWT right? Is there another way I can use the clipboard?

Sys.getClipboard() I believe.

it’s not that we dont want awt - it’s just that we’re open for native compilation, which is a big issue when AWT is included.
We do use AWT on linux and mac tho.

Hmm, so what is the most sensible way to access the clipboard with LWJGL?

Sys.getClipboard()

As kev already mentioned. However, there is no setClipboard… mh.

okay, thx.

Being able to set the clipboard would be nice … I am currently improving the TextEditor widget in FengGUI and I am planing to add clipboard support soon.
