This clipboard would save me a bunch of time as I would not lose my cursor hot spot. Anyone know of a light weight text editor for programming that will support this? To support the Secondary Selection clipboard, the editor has to be built with the GTK Toolkit. Many thanks, -T For those who don't know what I am talking about, X11 has four clipboards. There is a great video over here demonstrating all four.

Interesting but not something I've ever worried about. Personally, I just use [g]vim on all platforms but it definitely does NOT support secondary selection.
I love it because I can be grab a chuck of text and drop it on somewhere while typing and not have to lost where I am typing and have to refind it. Bummer on the VI ! It inserts above the cursor
