This characteristic of X is a pain in gvim where it pastes at the copy point instead of the last insertion point, unlike vim in a console, where it pastes at the current insertion point. i.e. in gvim, X moves the current insertion point to the double click, while in a console the insertion point remains where it was. A big difference in efficiency when editing, especially when doing quick variable name copies to avoid typing. This doesn't happen in an X term since there is only one insertion point. I just checked, and it pastes properly there. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
