I run X with a two button mouse, and I am forced to have Emulate3Button disabled.
This makes it impossible to copy data from terminal emulators such as rxvt, xterm, gemvt and eterm, to standard X applications such as Nedit, Netscape Navigator, GTK text/entry widgets and so on. This is because you can only insert text copied from the terminal emulator to the destination non-terminal emulator application with a middle mouse click. I find this behaviour rather irrational. Even if you only can select and copy text from a terminal emulator with the mouse, pasting in other applications is usually done with the keyboard (through Ctrl+V or Shift+Ins). When you're in the middle of editing a document in an X-based editor, you don't want to reach for the mouse just to insert text, even if it came from a shell session. Also, it seems illogical to me that Shift+Ins in an terminal emulator may insert a piece of text, while at the same time Shift+Ins in an editor in X will insert something completely different. My question is now, is there a way, with the keyboard, to explicitly copy data from this "buffer" shared by terminal emulators into the "real" clipboard buffer used to other applications? Or do I have to make a custom terminal emulator? (And probably rewrite a bunch of other applications with this behavior.) Oskar Liljeblad ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 1. X and X applications should be designed to work even with one-button mice. 2. Emulate3Button makes response slow or makes some button combinations impossible. 3. It should be possible to control every X application entirely with the keyboard. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
