Once upon a time external paste would work via a special external
paste option. I read the docs for 1.5.0rc1 and saw that now the
middle button is to be used for pasting. Of course by default there
is no middle buttons in OS X land but I have a multi button mouse
and I used USB Overdrive to configure how it works. I took one of
my extra buttons and configured it to be the middle mouse button,
the fourth mouse button and the fifth mouse button (as defined by
USB overdrive) without much joy. Setting the extra button to be the
'middle mouse button' did cause LYX to paste but it pasted from its
internal buffer rather than from the external one.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for external paste? Is there a known
setting to get external paste working on OS X using USB Overdrive?
Thanks,
Yaron
P.S. I did try to internet search for a solution and I checked the
mail archives but I couldn't find anything. I also checked the bug
list for 1.5. I'm sorry if this question has already been answered
but I tried my best to find that answer and failed.
Command V should pastes the most recent copied selection regardless
of whether it is external or internal. In addition you have the Paste
Recent menu to paste recent internally copied selections.
If that doesn't work for you, could you could you please give details
on your configuration (language, etc). I have tried with Latin and
Cyrillic characters and both work fine for me.
