Introduction to the Xwindows clipboard  

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the things that amazes a lot of new users to Linux is how flexible the 
| clipboard is.  It's one of the many features of Linux that I've come to 
| depend upon greatly.  Without it, life could go on, but it would be much, 
| much more difficult.  So I'm going to give you a brief introduction to it, 
| and then allow you to do a little exploring on your own, because exploring 
| and learning are half the fun of using Linux.     
| 
| The first thing to know is that the Xwindows clipboard is what is commonly 
| known as a "two level" or "two layer" clipboard.

Microsoft hasn't 'innovated' this yet. It relies on others.

| I am telling you to switch to Linux not because I am a true Linux
| geek. I really try to be objective here. I tried other approaches
| first. There is a nice program for Windows called True X-Mouse Gizmo
| which I tried. Yes, it works, but unfortunately I was not happy with
| it. The first problem is other functions of the middle mouse button
| (such as turning on scrolling mode) apparently no longer work.
