It all comes down to the how your xwindows keyboard is mapped. One of your other keys probably does what the ctl key does in windows, but it is hard for me to guess. If you have a three button mouse, I think the middle mouse does a copy with no key pressed. At least it did on Solaris. Basically, try middle mouse, Alt, Ctl, and other keys to modify the left button as one of them does what you expect. If you don't like the key it is currently, remap it in the XServer or window manager. Greg McKaskle
