Hi all, Got a new laptop and was wondering how I can paste text with the synaptics touchpad. With a normal mouse I would select the text by click and holding the left mouse button, select the text and then paste by pressing the middle mouse button. How do you do that with a synaptics touchpad which only has two buttons?
2 ways, one is to tap the touch pad (this feature can be annoying at times) and the other is to use both buttons at the same time. Watch out for the lines on the touch pad. If you move your finger to the right of the up/down line it can scroll the application up and down. If you move your finger below the horizontal line you move back and forth in Firefox's history (grr!). Other applications behave differently. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@xxxxxxxxxxx http://home.comcast.net/~ncherry/ (Text only) http://hcs.sourceforge.net/ (HCS II) http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog
