Best Regards

Yea, it would be great if you could paste titles or artists into the search boxes.
I don't know why that feature isn't available.....Bearshare has it.

What's wrong with using ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paster???

some times when im bord i wach what ppl serh for and see something i want to serch for it wud be nice to be abile to dobil cllik on it to serch for it

That function used to be working... I don't know why it was removed, - I'm sending an email to the developer mailinglist...

Copy and paste are such basic functions, it's hard to understand why they aren't implemented. As a Mac user Limewire is the only game in town, but if I had other choices with Copy & Paste functionality, I would certainly choose those.

Copy and paste are so basic functions that LimeWire doesn't have to implement them. They already come with the Java Runtime Environment. I don't know if there is a copy and paste in Apple's MRJ for MacOS, but at least on Linux, Windows and OSX there is a copy and paste function.

if there is a way for mac os9 i cant find it but it mite just be a hot key and i dont know eny of them

>f there is a way for mac os9

Yes. Purchase and install OSX.

i sed os 9 osx is not as good it has meny bugs shers its code whith unix so some bugs/haxs/virses that are on unixs may wurk on it also os9 is the most satbil os yet and very few virses no spy ware iv only had one just one vires and it dident wurk as it was for pc os 9 ruls comperd to osx ppl only have it becuse all the hipe and new programs only wurk on osx thats why i need it for coll but i delay it as long as pos also im broke peny less or i wude pay for lime wire:mad lol mad)

It would be nice to be able to right click on a name in the download list and have the ability to populate the search boxes with information

Here are the keyboard shortcuts ("hotkeys") for windows and Mac OS:

Windows:
cut = ctrl + X or shift + inset
copy = ctrl + C or ctrl + insert
paste = ctrl + V or shift + del

Mac OS X*: (and probably for older Mac Classic OSes, too)
cut = command + X
copy = command + C
paste = command + V

When I say "cut = ctrl + X", I mean in order to cut selected text, press the X key after you press down on the Control key first.

*I'm assuming that this is how Mac OS does it, but haven't tried it myself yet.

I'd also like to see undo (ctrl + z) and redo (ctrl + y, or ctrl + shift + z) functions, which shouldn't be too hard to implement (Swing comes with UndoManager and other classes for this). In other applications, I prefer to use a context menu for cut/copy/paste etc. functions. I know that some people prefer using an Edit menu from the menu bar instead. So there are at least three different methods to do the same set of operations. I say Chaqu'un à son gout, to each his own, whatever that floats your boat, whatever that tickles your pickle, ...

By the way, this thread at Open Discussions has a similar topic.

Update: Seems like drag & drop of text between LimeWire and MS Word works too (at least on Windows 2000).

What I mean is, it would be nice to be able to right-click on an item in the download list, and be able to copy the name(s) into the find list.

on OSX and the 3.8.1 beta, at least, doubleclicking on a search term in the Monitor pane (incoming searches) starts a new search in the Search Pane.

Double clicking on an item in the monitor pane starts a search, too, in Win2k for 3.7.10.

David, do you mean you want to start a new search with the filename of an item in the download queue? If you're trying to find more sources for a download, wouldn't the Find More Sources button do the job?
