MT4 editor (Ctr-C & Ctr-V) problem

Hi,

i MT4 on my vista pc. I am trying to use copy & paste in editor.

But every time i do that i break it and stopped my editor application.

I almost tried 5-6 different brokers for MT4 but same problem with each and everyone.

Then i try using MT5 Beta, it doesn't have this problem. But there is problem with MT5 is that its different syntax for std lib funcs. So i can't use that either.

I sure others having same problem too and someone must have found work around this problem.

So any help is appreciated.

Thanks
desi

I have Vista and I don't have any problem with Copy / Paste. I suppose you could try using the Edit menu or the icons rather than the keyboard.

I did have that problem for a while. I finally just uninstalled and then reinstalled MT4. The problem went away.

I am on vista as well.

i tried all possible ways i could think of.
reinstalled abt 4/5 times alrerady. Tried different brokers.
Tried Edit menu.

Nothing worked so far.

May be i try updating vista.

anyway thanks guys for suggestion and your time

You are not a coder, are you? The editor has to work with the keyboard alone or else it is broken and unusable.

Maybe <shift>-<del> and <shift>-<ins> work. These are the ones I am used to because they are at comfortable positions on the keyboard for me (left hand <shift> and right hand <del> and <ins>, where also the arrow keys and other navigation keys are which are conveniently used for navigating with the right hand AND in combination with left <shift> to select text).
