Subject: [ILUG-BOM] Concept of Copy/Paste.
Hello All,
What is the concept of copy paste in linux as compared to windows? In windows I can save highlighted text or links in the clipboard and close the source program or editor. In linux, if the source program/editor is closed, it does not highlight the 'paste' option in the destination program or editor.
Case: As a safety measure links from emails are never clicked directly, instead they are copied and then pasted in the addres bar of the browser. In this process if the email client is closed, the 'paste' option is not highlighted. Same thing happens when saving parts of a web page text from a browser to a text editor.
So in linux is the concept of copy based on the an active link only as compared to windows, where a seperate memory pad is used to store the text?
Regards,
Rony.
I am not sure of the concept. But the incident experienced here is applicable to windows XP specifically. (as far as I have experienced!)
Secondly, I use, KDE 3.1-10 as my desktop environment under Redhat Linux 9.0 and I have a utility called Klipper
This is a good utility which store the previous copied text and enables a number of entries (which can be customized).
Also, hopefully, it even store after closing the source program/editor.
Sir, Can I know which distro are u using?
This question is also applicable to people who would like to state it!
