Dustpuppy Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Is there a way of making copy and paste by highlighting and then clicking the middle mouse button work when there isn't a middle mouse button? My laptop (see sig) has a touchpad and two buttons underneath it. I'm so used to mouse copying that I keep on forgetting to do ctrl-c to copy the highlighted text, and this is bugging me! What I'd really like to do is be able to copy by highlighting, and then paste by pressing one button (or even ctrl-v). Is this possible?

spinynorman Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I haven't had to do this, but Google tells me that you can enable 3-button emulation, and press the 2 buttons simultaneously to paste. May take some practice. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuppy Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Thankyou! I added these to the mouse bit of xorg: Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Emulate3Timeout100" It seems to be quite easy with my laptop buttons - they're both big enough to be fairly easy to press together.
