Mathieu
thanks for the X-11 info :)
I discovered the scrollwheel click after checking out out the 2nd button
click suggested
and that also works
the only problem is if you click on a comment making it gray
then perform a paste
it usually ends up looking something like
[commyour text pasted hereent]
and needs a little clean up
it would be nice if it replaced comment with the new text
oh well, at least I can now paste from the console
ciao!

What seems to work in many cases here (ubuntu) for pasting the

wow! this works -- thanks for the tip - this makes Pd commenting much
easier
This doesn't paste from clipboard. it pastes directly from selection.
It works only with selections registered with X11. It's the original
pasting method introduced by X11 in the eighties, before Ctrl+c Ctrl+v
became a standard (and even then, some may remember Netscape 3 on
Linux actually having copy-paste like Alt+c Alt+v or Meta+c Meta+v
instead!)
The keyboard shortcut for paste-from-selection is often Shift+Insert,
but I'm not sure that it's standard. I remember many apps having
Shift+Insert for paste-from-clipboard instead, but that might have
been in DOS and OS/2 only, not sure.
As Mik says, Button-1 and Button-3 pressed together does the job of
Button-2 if your X11 server is configured to make this translation.
Mice that have two buttons are lacking Button-2. If you have a
clickable wheel, Button-2 is usually there, and if you have a
nonclickable wheel, Button-2 may be a thumb button.
