Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.99) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs Selecting text to copy works intermittently. Sometimes it requires me to right-click->Copy, sometimes not. SHIFT+INSERT and/or middle-click sometimes works to paste, sometimes it requires right-click->Paste. My desired behavior would be select-to-copy, shift+insert/middle-click to paste. I am filing this as a bug, not a wisklist item, since the behavior is indeterminant.
You're sure that you are not confused by the two different independent clipboards? SHIFT+INSERT is not identical to middle-click. The first pastes the clipboard, the second your current selection (SHIFT+CTRL+INSERT for this if you want to use keyboard).
hmm, apparently that is my problem. I had thought that SHIFT-INSERT was to paste the selection as that is how it works in many other window/session managers. I guess this is not the case with KDE. My mistake :) Odd, I deleted the alternate Paste "SHIFT-INSERT" from the ControlCenter->Accessibility->KeyboardShortCuts->ApplicationShortCuts and it still pastes from the KDE clipboard. Shouldn't it be undefined, and do nothing? Anyway, the indeterminent behavior was apparently mine, so I guess this can be closed out.
