Greetings: Joining the crowd trying to learn more about XF86 and the
Firefox Browser, specifically, asking how others copy and paste from
a text message, listing a long complicated URL, to the URL box in the
browser..
I'm doing this now but there must be an easier way.. Maybe not:
StartX and select the default XTerm window.. Pointer down below that
and select another XTerm window.. Focus on the top window invoking
Mutt, where the URL message is, and leftclick drag to hilite the long
URL..
Focus on the bottom window invoking firefox and pointing to the URL
box, centre click to paste, then deleting a spurious "+" where the
original text message had a newline... After that deletion, pressing
enter and I go to the proper URL...
I tried copying the URL from the message to a file and really got a
confusing bunch of extranenous characters,"=3D" mostly.. Do Windoze
people have this much of a problem?? <grin> Three Linux editors; same
so I decided the direct approach above the best way even with the "+"
to delete..
Is there a better way?? Does the above make sense? TIA and Cheers,
I don't want to use a desktop scheme, Gnome or KDE, etc.. I much
prefer CLI all the way except when I have to otherwise..
