Msg: Re: XY to DosBox-X to Google Docs: double spaced?

Promising development: I got Carl's key assignment working.

Maybe my Mac didn't like me using CTRL-V; I put it on CRTL-Z and the problem disappeared.

44=DZBXs,a,d,/,n,v, ,C,L,I,P,$,Q2

It doesn't copy CRs but when pasted into the Google doc, it now shows paragraph breaks with a charming eighth-note symbol.

♪

Since it's XPL and within XY4, is there a way to further tweak that key assignment to keep the break but lose the eighth-note? Or, I don't know, a different font or codepage to keep that eighth-note invisible?

In the meantime, I also found this online tool to clean things up; its privacy policy claims it's not reading your text.

And apologies for the Mac gibberish that showed up in previous posts. Typing this one directly into Yahoo mail and hoping for the best.

Using DOSBox-X I save to clipboard (with fn-Shift-Home etc.) and then paste into a Google Doc...and suddenly -- different from XY via VDOSMac -- it is doublespaced, so I have to backspace line by line to pull it together.

When you copy text from the DOSBox-X screen, DOSBox-X puts a CR (Carriage Return) at the end of each line of text, which is why you get that result in Google Docs.

If you want an option NOT to add a CR at the end of the line, you’ll have to go to the DOSBox-X GitHub site, create a GitHub account for yourself if you don’t have one, and post a feature request. I have no idea whether Wengier and the other developers will be able to do this, or when.

PS You can avoid the CRs in the pasted text if you use Carl's method of

selecting text and writing it to the DOSBox-X CLIP$ device, which will

write it to the Mac clipboard.
