Copy/paste from Pycharm to Maya script editor

Hello simon,

Please try PyCharm 2.0 EAP, which has a number of fixes related to clipboard

management.

Any reason why I can not copy from Pycharm and paste into Maya's

script editor. I have to paste the text into notepad and then copy

from there. :-/

Other apps seem to be ok though which is odd.

I'm currently using the EAP verion 110.37.

I am having the same issue with 110.377 as well. If I paste the text into notepad++ or notepad and then copy from there I can then paste into Maya. I think it's very particular about the content being plain-text. This is pretty crippling workflow wise.

Alright I did some more investigating and it looks like Maya will fail to paste when there is a "text/uri-list" entry in the mime-data. I assume this would be more of an autodesk bugfix unless the text/uri-list entry isn't needed by pycharm and could be removed.

Here's a workaround for Maya if you are able to use PyQt:

def removeInvalidClipboardData():
oldMimeData = QtGui.qApp.clipboard().mimeData()
newMimeData = QtCore.QMimeData()
for format in oldMimeData.formats():
     if 'text/uri-list' in format: #This breaks maya paste
          continue
     data = oldMimeData.data(format)
     newMimeData.setData(format, data)
clipboard = QtGui.qApp.clipboard()
clipboard.blockSignals(True)
clipboard.setMimeData(newMimeData)
clipboard.blockSignals(False)
QtGui.qApp.clipboard().dataChanged.connect(removeInvalidClipboardData)
