Hello everyone, Last night I forgot to mention how to copy and paste into an xterm (or pretty much any terminal or other program, as long as the mouse is enabled.)
To copy text, select it with your left mouse button. To paste the text, middle click with your mouse. When pasting on the command line, it will paste wherever your cursor is. When pasting to an X11 application (e.g. firefox, kate, thunderbird) it will normally paste wherever you middle-click. If anyone has something they would like to share, I'd love to hear it. Whether it's: - Commands you use all the time, or occasionally that you think are pretty neat - Neat ways to use commands - Links to web pages that you've found helpful - Anything else related to the command line? Here's the URL I was referring to last night that has command line arguments for firefox: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments Some examples: Open google in a new tab in an already-open firefox window: firefox -new-tab http://google.ca Open a second copy of firefox using a separate profile: firefox -no-remote -P "other profile" -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
