Yeah, I really like that feature too. Sometimes when using MS Windows
I reallly miss it. What I was looking for was something that did
function a little like the ctrl-c | v | x that MS Windows apps have.
The best of both worlds.
Sometimes I have a bunch of xterms and other apps running, I select
some text, find the one I want to paste into, but somewhere along the
way I double click and lose the selection.
Do you think that's more of a window manager/X thing, or could a util
be written to handle that automagically? If I could program, that
would be something that I'd look into.
Oh well, the search continues...
thanks again
