Pressing both buttons at the same time will act as a third button on a 2-button mouse, and will work as a paste function in X.

RE: Aterm cut-and-paste was Re: Rid of those Windows Desktops!
I just tried using CTRL-C to copy and CTRL-V to paste but that didn't work. I know I've used those commands to copy and paste in other applications (Firefox, etc.) but they don't work for me in Aterm or XFTerm4 (the terminals available to me in XFCE4. Highlighting and scroll clicking does work in the terminals and Firefox so it is the more all-around solution for me. The two separate clipboards is cool though. One from CTRL-C and a second from highlighted text.

You can also copy and paste the Microsoft way, with Control-C/Control-V. One thing to keep in mind is that anything that you actually copy by Edit -> copy, Control-C, right click -> copy, etc will overwrite anything you simply highlight. It's like having two separate clipboards. One from actually copying, one from highlighting. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
