Ask HN: What happend to center mouse cut and paste in linux?
2 by bdavis__ | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Been captive on RHEL 6 for a long time. Installed a new linux distribution (fedora) and found that center button cut and paste does not work. Installed ubuntu, same thing. Google search seems to tell me "that is the way it is", and you can only cut and past like that inside a single application (which for me means an xterm). What has happened? Why would something like this that has been around for 30+ years across ever unix / window manager environment not be supported?
