I use a laptop with one of those touch pads you use for a mouse where you drag your finger around on it and have two buttons for left and right mouse.
Can any one tell me how to copy with mouse (really the left mouse button provided on the touchpad) but paste from keyboard while in text (console) mode? Or using the touch pad thing somehow. I've tried pressing both touchpad buttons at once to emulate middle mouse but it has no effect. So I'm thinking there must be a way from the keyboard to release the copied string.... someway to `paste' whatever is currently in the copy buffer or clipboard or whatever it is when you hightlight something in the terminal with left mouse drag. If I hook a real mouse to the laptop.. I can do the normal linux stuff all with mouse.. highlight with left mouse button drag (in a terminal) and paste the highlighted string with middle mouse. So again, how can I effect the above with only the keyboard for pasting or alternatively the touchpad? (The touchpad and two button apparatus built into the laptop) I notice on a windows OS what ever is highlighted anywhere with the mouse can be pasted with C-v. Is there a similar keyboard combo in linux (text) terminal mode?
