That depends of course. I use 'vim' to edit files and 'tmux' [1], so most of the time I copy text from terminal (from opened man pages, sample config files, output of another command in another terminal section, ssh sessions, etc) using keyboard shortcuts. These programs encourage you (and make it possible) to use more of a keyboard and much less of a mouse. > Left double-click to select a "word" & right click to paste is pretty > much automatic for me now - which is why I'm looking for a xfce4 > terminal replacement > > Thanks anyway tho > Lee >
