I think I mentioned it but probably too briefly, so I don't mind explaining in more detail. I run geeqie full screen. I pretty much have to in order to see the detail in my images. Now, that means if I need to do a file operation and if I want to do it in a shell, I have to either switch to another workspace or at least partially obscure geeqie with the shell window. So I'd much rather do that from geeqie itself, and in theory I can, in particular I can use "New Folder" buttons in file selection dialogs to create directories. But, if the name of the directory I want to create is based on one of the images, I want to copy and paste it and not type it from scratch; and to paste, I much prefer to use Control-v (which pastes the clipboard proper) to middle-clicking (which pastes the primary selection). The reason for that last preference is threefold: a. I am conditioned to expect middle-click to behave erractically, although this is probably just due to bugs in applications; b. I am the opposite of handy, so pointing devices in general are the stuff of my nightmares; and c. (related) I use a touchpad instead of a mouse, and middle-clicking is particularly clunky on touchpads, even when they have a real middle button as mine does (most don't). I hope that's enough of an explanation :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
