It's not the keyboard commands that are intuitive. Its the fact that I can go to the edit menu and choose COPY in one application and go to another application and choose PASTE from the edit menu. I have better things to do with my time than figure out why I can't cut and paste. You can try to tell me I'm doing it wrong because I'm ignorant if you'd like. I was however able to cut from Evolution and paste to KEdit using both the CTRL keys and the Edit menu commands. So was I doing it wrong or was the OS or combination of programs not intuitive enough to understand I wanted to cut and paste by using the provided commands / keyboard shortcuts? I don't want linux to work like windows. I wasn't using CTRL+V because that is what I use in Windows. I was using CTRL+V because that is what I use in Windows *AND* that is what it shows as a short-cut on the Edit menu in my *linux* software. I don't mind using different methods of completing tasks but if the commands are there I want them to work! If there is going to be a 'clipboard' I want it to work. In most cases I can retype faster than figuring out why I can't cut and paste. I'll be sure to mark your message important and try it, thanks for the tip. I do like it when my wheel is taken advantage of.
