- I don't know if this is the same thing that Ethan is talking about but I
- would like to be able to mark text in windows and copy and past it easilyy
- with the keyboard and mouse. As an example, Hold {ALT,CTRL,SHIFT - you
- pick} down while moving the mouse will mark a block - the current method is
- VERY cumber some. Then ALT-MB3 could simply paste it in somewhere.
-
- In X-Windows (twm at least) , it's even simpler, holding down the left
- button does the marking/copying and the right button does the pasting.
- Would make things much nicer.
