Hi Ioannis,
There are two different things going on.
The first is probably very familiar to most long term linux users. And
that is the quick cut and past you can do with a mouse.
On Linux there is often no need to do "highlight with mouse" -> "Ctrl-c"
-> "Click where you want to paste" -> "Ctrl-v".
You can use the mouse shortcut which is "Highlight with mouse" -> "Click
middle mouse button on the spot where you want it pasted"
The wheel on wheel mice acts as the third button. Clicking both the
left and right button at the same time also acts as the third button.
Once you get used to this functionality, you really find it hard going
back to a windows box that doesn't have it.
*note* There are some applications where this doesn't work. But it does
work in the majority of applications.
The second feature you are seeing is a feature in firefox. It has alot
of shortcuts. One of those shortcuts is a 'goto' feature. Basically
highlight some works, and middle click. It will perform a 'goto' search
in google, and take you to that site.
A real time saver. A real pain. You choose.
I'm not certain which parameter it is, so I don't know how to turn it off.
Troy, thanks a lot for this info.
