For me, I simply need to highlight the text in Evince. I can then paste with button two in any application that accepts it. My setup is a little non-standard. I'm using autocutsel (http://www.nongnu.org/autocu tsel/ should also be available through your package manager) to keep my two clipboards in sync. I can use Ctrl-C to copy and Button2 to paste or vice versa. It takes some getting used to, but I like it. > However, my uneducated guess is that you are using Wayland (likely in > a > recent Fedora), and that feature does not seem supported on > applications that can run natively on Wayland (which is not the case > of > Firefox). Ah! that could be the problem. I haven't used Wayland (besides in gdm) yet so I hadn't considered how that might change things for copy and paste. > > That is only explanation that occurs to me, as I use X11 and the > selection + middle click works as expected... in X11.
