How to bind Middle click (paste selected text) to keyboard shortcut
Hi,
i'm using linux on a laptop. Middle click is not a simple task when i have no extern mouse but only a touchpad (left button+right button emulation is not a good solution). How can i bind this operation (paste selected text) in X to the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+V, for example)? |
I would also like to know the answer to this question, for the same reason. I've looked at other related threads and none of them offer a solution.

Why is "left button+right button" "not a good thing" ?
<CTRL>-V will paste, as will <SHIFT>-INSERT If you are running KDE, take a look at klipper -it's very useful for managing your clipboard history. Otherwise see man xmodmap |

I also was able to re-implement the Ruby script in Perl, just 'cuz. Let me know and I'll post my Perl way, but I will admit my Perl is really rusty, and the Ruby script seems much more elegant. |
Thanks for that link. The mouse-based copying is one of the few justifications for the wretched rodent in my opinion, so I'll have to try it.
