1) You can't copy/paste text from evince _at_all_.
Hmm, i just copied "Acorsa Artichoke Heart - Quarter, Water, Can" from a
catalog pdf, so _at_all_ depends on something -- I couldn't copy text
from scanned documents, but that's to be expected.
Interesting. How do you do it? For all other apps, all you have to do
is select the text and then center-click in the window where you want
the selected text inserted.
Well, I select and right click copy then right click paste in where I
want it. I never got into the center click options.
That must be using something other than the standard X11 clipboard
copy/paste mechnism. You shouldn't have to "right click copy", and
many of the apps I paste into don't even have a "right click paste".
It sounds like evince has abandoned the trie-and true X11 clipboard
functionality that people have been using for 30 years.
Well, that may be more my issue than evince's -- my unix-ish habits grew
up with the command line more so that X. At any rate, I did try middle
click after you mentioned it and it worked as you'd indicated it should.
Not-that-that-helps-you-any-ly yr's,
