1.4. Cut and Paste in X-Windows
-
Usually just marking text will copy it to the clipboard.
-
Sometimes however, you'll have to press Ctrl+C or the menus'
copy command to copy the marked text to the clipboard.
-
Pressing the middle mouse button will paste it to the active
window. (if you don't have a middle button - you can press the left
and right mouse buttons together to paste).
