Hello
In my quest to better understand the inner workings of a Linux system,
here it goes. It seems there's 2 independent 'copy/paste' systems, one
which works by a highlight/middle click method, the other by the
ctrl-c/ctrl-v (and the right-click copy/paste menus). Is there any info
regarding this to help clarify how it works? Important question is, is
there a way of combining those 2 systems, so as I could highlight to
copy, then ctrl-v to paste?
You can read about the X Window clipboard at http://freedesktop.org/Standards/ClipboardsWiki and/or at http://www.jwz.org/doc/x-cut-and-paste.html
