Hmmm...so instead of actually reading my post, several
folks have responded ... presumably just looking at
the words "cut" and "paste" in my post and responding
with a tutorial on how to use my mouse buttons.
Thanks.
So I'll start all over.
I am running X on fbsd 5.3, with ratpoison as my
window manager. I only run two apps - xterms (1 or 2
or 3 of them) and opera (my web browser).
I can cut text in my xterms by simply highlighting it,
and I can paste that text back into that xterm, or a
different xterm by clicking my right mouse button. So
yes, I know how to cut and paste thank you very much.
I can also cut and paste in opera by selecting text
and choosing edit->copy from the menu - I can then
paste that text back into opera with edit->paste, or
shift+insert, and FURTHER, I can paste that text into
any of my xterms, with shift+insert OR with my right
mouse button.
THE PROBLEM IS, if I cut text in an xterm, I cannot
paste it in opera. That is the only problem.
So to recap, I know how to cut and paste - thanks. No
need for the mouse button tutorials. All I want to
know is, why can I not properly cut and paste from
xterm TO opera, when I can already do it successfully
gtom opera TO xterm ?
Thanks. Hopefully anyone responding will actually
read the post this time.
What encodings are you using?
