"Unfortunately"? The only "unfortunately" I have with two copy/paste schemes are: - When I am forced to use a Windows application, middle-click *never* pastes :-( - Certain Linux applications like OpenOffice seem to have buggy implementations of middle-click, and sometimes fail to recognise when you've copied something in another application. But only sometimes. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
