I was using Reflection/X and/or Exceed and recently moved to Cygwin/X. Like in Motif, paste is normally achieved by the middle moust button. While copy is achieved by simple selecting(without deselecting) the text. Therefore, when I am on the cygwin window/s I use the Motif style for copy/paste. And, when I am on an XP window, I use MSWin style for copy/paste. With such way of negotiating my mouse clicks between both sets of windows I am able to copy/paste between the two universes. While Reflection and Exceed would recognise my middle mouse button, Cygwin would not. So I decided to modify my Xwin startup with -emulate3buttons option. Which required me to emulate middle button by pressing both L & R mouse buttons together. Finally I found why my cygwin would not recognise the physical middle mouse button. I had set its XP driver to double-click, because sometime ago I was racing to complete MSWin Solitaire. Which my record time is 76 seconds. A neighbour(in the boondocks of Maine) managed 55 seconds.(How did he do that?). I think Reflection doesnot depend on my setting of the XP mouse driver and therefore not affected by my past Solitaire exploits. -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com]On Behalf Of Lee, Jason Sent: Tue, August 30, 2005 2:43 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Copy and Paste between my PC and CygwinX I have recently start using CygwinX which is a window to my UNIX environment. The problem is that I have being searching for answer to do copy and paste between CygwinX environment and my PC environment. I can use Ctrl-Insert and Shift-Insert to do copy and paste in my CygwinX environment. How do I copy and paste from my PC to CygwinX xterm windows and from CygwinX xterm windows back to my PC.
