os:debian8.
Now the file /etc/passwd was copied into clip board.
To open a new blank file with leafpad ,click middle bottun on your mouse,
the content in /etc/passwd was pasted into leafpad.

I want to get a xclip command ,to copy file ,just right click your mouse to paste the content in /etc/passwd into new blank leafpad file.

How to write the clip command?

I do not really understand, do you want to use right click instead of middle button, or ??

yes, to use right click instead of middle button.

it is not handled by xclip, but the X window system itself. You need to reconfigure the mouse buttons, and I think that will not really work that way. Probably you can check Xresources too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_resources (see links at the bottom too)

man xclip

1.xclip got to get focus of whatever it is
2.xclip got to get into whatever it is
3.xclip got to select whatever it is
4.xclip got to copy whatever it is

5.xclip got to get focus of the other whatever it is
6.xclip got to get into that other whatever it is
7.xclip got to then paste whatever it got into the other whatever it is

[assign to middle button on click event]


man xclip

Though I do not know why you'd want to put yourself through all of that to use the middle button.

When the right button can already do this.

regardless you're missing your implementation.

what is your implementation on this?

when you figure that out.

to short cut a lot of that if not all of it.

access -> right click menu -> paste

luofeiyu,

I wish you all the luck in the world. So, you've got that going for you.
