C3D 2025.2.6 - DescKey Editor Bugged

Cadguru42 — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 16:02:48 GMT

The DescKey Editor doesn't allow right-clicking to copy to clipboard of more than one entry. Has it always been this way? I could have sworn years ago I was able to do a CTRL+A, right-click on one of them, then select Copy to clipboard. It's still possible to select multiple keys in the bottom half of the Toolspace>Settings window, but why doesn't the DescKey Editor work the same?

I tested in 2027, it seems to work

I tested in 2026, it seems to work

I tested in 2025.2.2 it seems to work

All three versions the same task allowed me to copy the contents to the clipboard and then paste it in excel

give me a minute, I just realized it said 2025.2.6 and that I dont have it installed

~~CTRL+A doesnt work in that version, but click on the first one, shift and select the last one, still works~~

I just tested it again, not through remote desktop and it is working fine with 2025.2.6

I wonder why it won't work for me then. I can select more than one row, but when I right-click it only selects the row that I right-clicked on and deselects all others. Same setup works fine in the Toolspace itself.

I will test it again when I get home, just to make sure it wasnt a fluke. When I was testing the first time, I was using team viewer on my phone, and it didnt work, I couldnt get ctrl+a to work, I could only get select then shift and select the last one, but right clicking copy to clipboard worked fine. When I got home Ctrl+a worked as it does in the newer versions.

So I will try it again.

Yesterday afternoon it worked for me. I had closed C3D earlier in the day, so I guess it was some fluke that happened in the morning. What's strange is that I don't leave C3D open, so something happened while I was working that caused the DescKey Editor to not let me right-click on multiple rows.

Gremlins!

Try this. Select the rows you want and hold the CTL key while clicking. Does this help?

I tried it again and it is still working, so I'm not sure what the deal was.
