How are the two processes different? As far as copying text > they seem exactly the same. There seems to be 2 buffers. I never bother with the ctrl-shift-[cv] I have never used it because it's so much easier to use the mouse. This is how I tested it: in one window, I highlighted text, and Edit->copy In another window, I only highlighted. in a third window, Edit->paste yields contents from first window, and click middle button yields contents from seconds window. ctrl-shift-v yields same contents as Edit-paste. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
