How many times do we have to go to the API page and copy all the API keys from each account? Really often for me. Seems anytime I have to get APIS for my characters I just dread it.
For some reason when I try to copy the KEY ID I always end up highlighting what I don't want, and it makes it more difficult. So my suggestion is simple.
Why is there not a box for all of our API keys to be easily copied?
- Click Box
- Auto Copies content
Just seems something really simple that would make the process a little less annoying when you have to give API keys. |

In every browser I've ever used, if you double click on the ID or vCode, it will select the entire ID or vCode, which you can then ctrl-c.
EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
I couldn't have said it better.

Some browsers apparently have a very peculiar behavior in that regard. I remember many months ago when Firefox would copy a space in front of the key and cut the last letter. But that's basically crappy programming's fault and the mentioned double click for highlighting stuff works in all good browsers.

I remember that too, and simply copy/pasting to a notepad document worked wonderfully, exceptionally so when having to use them a lot.

This would still make it faster then double clicking and copying. This is how it should be since the data is being constantly copied and pasted. Why not have a system that recognizes that and improves it? |

Why not have a system that recognizes that and improves it? Your idea removes one cllck. One, that's all. That one click is the second click, which comes hundredths of a second after the first. This is how much faster than double-clicking single clicking is.

This is how much faster than double-clicking single clicking is. That still doesn't answer why it shouldn't be this way, pretty much you're saying it's useless. The API keys are made for other applications, therefore they are constantly being copied and pasted. Currently they're just a wall of text and that means that they're not really recognized as such. Yes everyone knows how to copy and paste, but I still feel this would be useful. It's a very easy improvement, and it makes things easier and more recognizable. Doesn't matter how much faster it makes, not everyone knows double clicking the Key ID makes you select it. This would make it so you don't have to know that as well.

Ever tried Linux? It's free and marking text on any window also copies it into the clipboard and pastes with the middle mouse button.

this is a browser issue, not a CCP issue...... or is it? it would be handy though
For posting an idea into F&I:
come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it.....
If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.
