It still seems to take an extra step: * goto where you want to paste, delete the stuff that's in your way * goto where you want to copy from, highlight what you want to copy * goto where you want to paste, and click the middle button I guess mentally I could make it into two steps -- I usually start from the place I want to paste something, so if I delete what I want to replace before I go looking for what I want to paste in it's place. But, if I don't find something to paste in it's place, I've now got to paste back what I just deleted. > BTW : here is another newbie tip. > That little picture of a clipboard in the bottom right of your KDE screen > (called klipper) saves the last 7 items you have stored in the clipboard.

I sent a few RFEs to kde related to klipper -- one suggesting that they allow assigning keyboard shortcuts to those seven buffers so that you can paste any of the seven, and a related one to allow you to choose to add something to the buffers or not (if not, you don't scroll the buffers, and something you had in the buffer stays in that particular buffer. I'm hoping they might have implemented some of this in kde 3 (I'm still using kde 2.2 with Mandrake 8.2). If anybody is using kde 3.0 or higher, has any of this been implemented? regards, Randy Kramer
