[09:51:03] <davc0n> Hello. I am looking for a gui tool to access a remote mongodb instance.

[09:51:59] <davc0n> It's not clear for me, if Compass in his full version, is still free and open-source (as the community edition)

[09:52:27] <davc0n> thanks in advance for any answer :-)

[20:48:30] <Zta77> Hm, there's a bug in MongoDB Compass ... sort of.

[21:20:32] <Zta77> First of all: Is there a special reason why text zoom in isn't the standard Ctrl + ? The drop down menu states Ctrl+Shift+=. Zoom out is Ctrl - all right.

[21:20:51] <Zta77> And reset is Ctrl+0 as expected. But zoom-in is wrong.

[21:24:22] <Zta77> Secondly: When dropping a database or a collection, a safety dialog is shown where I'm prompted "To drop YourDatabase type the database name YourDatabase:". I think across all platforms, it standard that when I double click a word in a selectable text view, that word gets selected (and on *nix, copied to clip board); then I can paste it into the confirmation field and be happy.

[21:25:30] <Zta77> But here, double clicking does .. something rather random, I can't really tell how it works - only that it doesn't work as expected.

[21:27:13] <Zta77> For what it's worth: Whatever gets selected, does get copied to the clip board, though.

[21:27:47] <Zta77> Please make Ctrl++ zoom in. And please make double clicking the database or collection name (or any word, really) select it and copy it to clip board. This is standard and expected.

[22:15:43] <GothAlice> Zta77: Fun factoid, copy-on-select is not actually standard behavior. It's frequently optional behavior, sure, e.g. Terminal.app Preferences. Even the oldest reference I can find to it, xterm, has it optional: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xterm#/media/File:XtermMenus.png ("Select to Clipboard") And, like, with that window chrome… that's a pretty old version, there. XP

[22:16:22] <GothAlice> But alas, this channel is no longer staffed by actual MongoDB Inc. staff, for the most part. Feature requests and such are best directed at official channels: https://www.mongodb.com/contact

[22:54:37] <Zta77> Copy on select works on all the apps I can think of on Linux. But I figured it wouldn't be an actual standard. That's why I surrounded the part about copying it within parenthesis. I see now that I forgot to do it in the closing comment. It's the actual selecting that's wrong to begin with. If that was fixed, I would hope the copying to be fixed as a happy side-effect. Thanks for the contact link =)
