Copying and pasting or cutting and pasting is a bit different in Ubuntu.
Note that the lamer who made this video didn't know that you can select
something and then just click the wheel on your mouse and it will paste,
something you can't do with Windows and is much quicker than the lame
Windows way in the video.

I agree, the middle-mouse paste thing sucks. I've a program I want to port
to Linux but can't, as it relies on the middle mouse button.

But, IIRC, that is a X-Windows specification thing, and not necessarily
a 'Linux thing'.

Linux (generally) is about sticking to standards and accepted specifications.

MS is about doing whatever they want and forcing new (MS) standards on
the world as they see fit.

A- None. They just make darkness the standard !!!!!

DanS, this Hadron troll is a crank who uniformly misconstrues what other
say as part of his trolling. I have no idea why he's bringing my name into
it, and, in any case, Hadron's simply full of it (shit, that is).

You (and Hadron) should realize that there are many ways to handle X
selection and clipboards, and that many applications provide a Windows-like
CUA interface (Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V. And there are specific clipboard applications
that support multiple selection buffers.

I left the Vista newsgroups in case that's how you're seeing the posts.

Yes, I know that. I generally use Ctrl-C/V and Shift-Insert in most
cases. I just totally dislike the middle-clink to paste thing.

I was simply commenting on the middle click paste.

Chris Ahlstrom is a suck up who claimed that apps HAD to lose clipboard
info when the inconsistencies in iceweasel/firefox were posted. And
there ARE problems as any real user knows.

Err, I know that And I daresay DanS knows that. You however have little
knowledge of it. As an emacs user under Debian the eccentricities of X
and desktop clipboards/buffers are well known to me.

That's odd...that middle-button-paste has worked on every X11 setup I've
used since the mid 90s.

X11 actually has two ways to copy-n-paste, though. Sometimes an app
(written by someone who didn't understand that, presumably) uses the
middle-button to pull the data the wrong way...or sometimes an app
doesn't do the correct thing when someone requests its highlighted data.

Here's a nice description, for the truly nerdy:

I'd imagine Abeel van der Troll is either lying or has the dreaded

do something linux that an average 8-year-old could do once shown the
way to do it. Or it shows when one can't make something work that works
out of the box for the rest of the (non-Windummie) world.
