How is one to use this great selection buffer
The common term is "primary selection".
feature when trying to paste to a new line if one cannot first left click so as to hit return?
Point to the next line start position and middle click.
I can say that the selection buffer works between multiple tabs if I use the keyboard to switch between them, so it's not a matter of a tab being dormant.
No, the behaviour is more complex than that. Selecting text, press Ctrl+Tab, middle click mostly does not insert the selected text. It does under some circumstances.
I also don't like that the selection buffer is pasted to where the middleclick occurs rather than where the caret is, but I consider that a secondary issue.
That is standard behaviour in edit widgets although the caret is not always moved to the click.
Does anyone know of any patches to these ends? If not, I'll see if I can write one myself. Maybe in all of this, I'm just too used to my terminal's setup. I use my terminal constantly for file management, system control, etc, so it's become ingrained.
Terminals are different to editors. Neil _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
