Subject: keyboard copy paste
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2009 11:17:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ljl1ff99.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)

How can I copy and paste with the keybard between application windows.
I think I remember knowing how to do this at some time in the past but
now just coming up blank as to how.

I want to copy something in Emacs... ok .. no problem.. there are many
ways with keyboard inside emacs.

Now I want to paste whats on the clipboard into an Xterm cmd line,
without going to the mouse.

I'm running recent Xfce4 desktop... but not finding a way to do this.

Can I just steal whatever events happen when middle click on three
button mouse and put them into a keyboard shortcut?

How might I do that?
