Other Help Topics :: Copy and paste command

Hi folks,

What are the copy and paste commands on terminal?

Ctrl+c
Ctrl+v
Pressing left+right mouse top buttons simultaneously
Pressing left+right mouse side buttons simultaneously

all did not work.

Please advise. TIA

I have a 3-button mouse, which allows me to copy/paste by selecting text to copy and pressing middle mouse to paste. If you have no middle mouse, the right+left *should* emulate it.
You might also try shift+insert to paste.

If you have an old two button mouse.
Then it needs to be specified.
Manual mouse selection is part of the xsetup routine.
You can boot dsl like this:

dsl xsetup

Then navigate through the screens for specify 2 button mouse.
The mouse specification is in the file .xserverrc

Hi Robert,

Tks for your advice.

on /ramdisk/home/dsl/.xserverrc

I found "-mouse /dev/psaux.5"
