[gentoo-user] Copy/Paste Functionality in Konsole

I have just recently switched over to KDE and started using Konsole, and I was 
wondering something.

I really like the copy/paste functionality you find in the Linux console and 
in PuTTY where you just highlight the text you want to copy and when you 
release the mouse button, it is copied.  Then, you can just right click to 
paste it into the input line.

How would I engineer such functionality in Konsole?

The same way? Just mark some text somewhere and paste it with the middle 
mousebutton.

The same but you use the middle button to paste. This is standard X
behaviour and not limited to Konsole or even KDE.

Have you tried it yet?  It works here w/o any special settings.

IIRC, there might be a global KDE setting that affects the selection (and 
clipboard) behavior, but I set up KDE so long ago that I don't remember 
it.

/me reads message again.

Oh, you want right-click to paste the selection?  Hrm, try using 
middle-click and you'll get what you want albeit on another button.

It's not the right click that does that, it's the middle click. This is 
a standard X feature that has been around for ages. 

If you copied something into the "other clipboard" you can paste it into 
console with "right click -> paste" or just shift-insert

The last sentence is a different matter.  I just tested both commands
& they copy the whole content of Klipper into the Konsole,
which is not usually likely to be useful (smile).
Dan should have a look at Klipper too & see how it works.
