I use a laptop with one of those touch pads you use for a mouse where |
2 |
you drag your finger around on it and have two buttons for left and |
3 |
right mouse. |
4 |
|
5 |
Can any one tell me how to copy with mouse (really the left mouse |
6 |
button provided on the touchpad) but paste from keyboard while in text |
7 |
(console) mode? Or using the touch pad thing somehow. I've tried |
8 |
pressing both touchpad buttons at once to emulate middle mouse but it |
9 |
has no effect. |
10 |
|
11 |
So I'm thinking there must be a way from the keyboard to release the |
12 |
copied string.... someway to `paste' whatever is currently in the copy |
13 |
buffer or clipboard or whatever it is when you hightlight something in |
14 |
the terminal with left mouse drag. |
15 |
|
16 |
If I hook a real mouse to the laptop.. I can do the normal linux stuff |
17 |
all with mouse.. highlight with left mouse button drag (in a terminal) |
18 |
and paste the highlighted string with middle mouse. |
19 |
|
20 |
So again, how can I effect the above with only the keyboard for pasting |
21 |
or alternatively the touchpad? (The touchpad and two button apparatus |
22 |
built into the laptop) |
23 |
|
24 |
I notice on a windows OS what ever is highlighted anywhere with the |
25 |
mouse can be pasted with C-v. Is there a similar keyboard combo in |
26 |
linux (text) terminal mode? |
