Copy text to the clipboard by holding down the left mouse button and dragging
it over the text you wish to copy. Then go to where you wish to paste and
single click the center mouse button/wheel. Also by clicking on the Klipper
icon (bottom right, next to clock) you can select from the clipboard
history/cache.
Hope this helps, Robin
