Re: Cut-Copy/Paste behavior

Just to sum up.
  a)Mouse cut/copy/paste works with all the applications in linux.
  b)Its behaviour is different from MS. It works as follows.
      1)Highlight with LEFT mouse. (This is equivalent to highlight and 
          Copy of MS)
       2)Go to where you want to pate and click MIDDLE mouse button.
           This works independent of whether it is scrol mouse or 
            'normal' 3 button mouse. 
       3) What ever you have marked previous to your latest marking 
            is also available on the clipboard. In of KDE any of these 
            can be  chosen from the Klipper pad on your toolbar, to be 
           pasted  (Of course using just a middle  mouse button click.)
            In the MOZILLA case when you click on the URL column for
            pasting, may be what ever text that is already there gets 
            highlighted and thus gets copied to clipboard. So what ever 
            you wanted to paste is not in the top of the clipboard list.
            May be this is a confusion. BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE IT 
            FROM THE KLIPPER as mentioned above and pated.
       4)If you are using a 2 button mouse and has enabled 'emulate 
          three button', then the function of clicking just the middle button
          in a 3 button mouse(for pasting) is replaced with simultaneuos
          clicking of both the buttons.
                   
  c)Some people find this easy others find MS way easy while others
      prefer it the linux way.
