cut/copy/paste

[mtf8]

One of the most annoying parts of moving to linux (and trying to rely on it 100%) has been not having a consistant method of copy/paste throughout the application.
I'm one of those people that's got ctrl+c (copy) and ctrl+v (paste) and ctrl+x (cut) tattood on my brain from having used windows for so long.
Does the window manager handle this functionality? I think I need to adjust the key bindings but I wonder if that's going to come across in other applications?
In case I'm right, I'll look around in Blackbox and see what I can find out. Just interested in hearing some comments...

Thanks,

Uhm, the second and third mouse buttons work actively as cut and paste for me and have always...

I'm using Red Hat 6.0 with KDE 1.1

All I do is hi-lite the text I want to copy with the left mouse button as you do in Windows.

Then go to where you want to paste and click the third mouse button (your wheel or a combo of left and right buttons).

That should do it.

Also, I think the Windows keyboard shortcuts work in many Linux programs.

Lastly, there is a program called klipper in KDE that holds your clipboard history that I find very useful.

Hope that that helps some!
