Hi

Anyone know how to get copy and paste to work by highlighting text in a document with mouse and pasting it by clicking scroll wheel/middle button as the rest of the apps on the plasma desktop do? Firefox can be random at this too.

- usually do this with "CTL C" then "CTL V"

............

regards yes, but its easier and quicker with the mouse, one of the benefits of a linux desktop being able to use the mouse in this way -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

works for me between libreoffice and kwrite (both ways)

jdd aaaaaaggghhh whats going on? i've just tried your example and i get the same results as you i.e. it works. it also now works pasting to kmail.

Something fishy is going on. Why is it random as to when it works? thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Select/paste has never worked *within* openoffice/libreoffice. It only works to/from another application and openoffice/libreoffice. I wish it did too. The copy buffer works fine, just not the select buffer (highlight/middle-mouse paste)

And just to be clear, you can open a libreoffice writer doc (.odt). Have text already in that document. Then simply select some text (highlight it) and then middle-mouse paste it somewhere else *in that same document*?

yes If so, I want that trick. In all my prior

openoffice/libreoffice installs, that never worked.

I just openned writer, wrote some chars (zertyuio), select them and mouse wheel and it copied the text... I'm guessing it's a system feature (it works the same in konsole) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Works for me tooooo. Opened a text document, mouse drag-selected several lines of text and middle mouse button pasted to another location within the same document.

Works here, too.

What I've seen is that if you mark some text, and then just middle click somewhere in the same document. it will gracefully paste the text there. BUT: as soon as you un-select that text again, for example by left-clicking in the document to place the cursor to the desired location for insertion, nothing will be pasted. So it seems that the middle mouse button paste feature is bound to the text actually being selected in writer. Regards, Andreas -- Time flies like an arrow.

Yes, absolutely. The text to be pasted needs to be highlighted the instant you click middle mouse. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

B I N G O !! We have a winner! That was it all along. I select, then position the cursor with left-click then try to middle-mouse paste (like I do in every other app), but if the text is no longer selection - no paste.

Have you tried copying from document to an email to see if it still works?

Sure, That still works - no problem (from open libre windows - highlight my 'Hello World!' and middle-mouse paste below: Hello world Yep, works like a charm.
