A Note about Cut and Paste
[previous]
[next]
[table of contents] [index]
Cut and Paste works a little differently in exmh
than some other X programs.
To select text,
hold down the first mouse button and drag the cursor from one
end of the text to the other.
If you drag the cursor off the top or bottom of the window,
the display scrolls automatically and the selection extends.
To adjust an existing selection,
press the Shift key and then click or drag with the first mouse button.
Paste the selection by moving the cursor to the correct spot
and pressing <Control-y>.
Delete the selection by pressing <Delete>.
The deleted text is saved so you can paste it into another location.
You can configure exmh to paste with the second mouse button
by using the Simple Edit dialog that is found under the Bindings menu.
The Sections on
Editing Commands and
Editing Keys
describe the editing bindings in more detail.
The exmh chapters use the Tk syntax for key presses, such as
<Control-y>, <Delete>, and <Tab>.
This syntax is used in the Binding
dialogs that let users customize key bindings.
See the Section Binding User Interface.
