I agree with Jason. Just try to write your PhD report in Latex using gedit. Each time you want to copy and past something with the mouse, you're lost. You have to scroll 300 lines to go back to your previous position.
What is the interest in going back to the original text of the copy and past action? What if you want to copy and paste at several positions in the text. Just look at the following example: line 056: text to copy and paste … line 102: paste the text here … line 150: paste again here line 151: paste again here line 152: paste again here and continue writting your poetry… Each time you paste, you go back to line 56… You must scroll the screen almost 5 times! It is just borring. I do not speak about the other bugs of this feature in gedit, such as buffer erased when you left click on the document (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34629). Combining all those bugs make this great feature almost useless in gedit as it is for OOo 3. Why is this feature more easy to use in the terminal than in a text editor? This feature should work in gedit like it works in other applications. That's what I think. -- A middle mouse button paste in gedit does not move cursor to insertion point https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410072 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
