Magic!
Yeah, I really like that feature too. Sometimes when using MS Windows I reallly miss it. What I was looking for was something that did function a little like the ctrl-c | v | x that MS Windows apps have. The best of both worlds. Sometimes I have a bunch of xterms and other apps running, I select some text, find the one I want to paste into, but somewhere along the way I double click and lose the selection. Do you think that's more of a window manager/X thing, or could a util be written to handle that automagically? If I could program, that would be something that I'd look into. Oh well, the search continues... thanks again -- -------------------------------------------- ) Mark Wagnon ) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) ( Chula Vista, CA ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( --------------------------------------------
