I, on the other hand, avoid that "mouse thing" like the plague. I can still type a command line command faster than going through three layers of a menu.

Don't think I've ever run across the right-click behavior you mention,

there's a shortcut key available -- too slow!).

why can't I right click on paste to paste text into the edit box
instead of having to go to the edit-->paste drop down menu?

no one has ever asked, or is there a technical reason?

this reminds me of when my wife, a legal secty as a teenager, was told to use the function keys under Word Perfect. Her response was 'you mean I have to leave the home row?'

When I am a cuttin' and a pastin', I'm usin' that mouse thing. Ctrl-V (from Wordstar/DOS, which is what staff uses in our office), means I have to drop that mouse thing and use the keyboard. I'm just looking for a flow of motion, and I found it unusual that the edit box would be excluded from the use of the cut and paste mouse features.
