3. Copying and Pasting Text With X

Copying and pasting text is easy using your mouse and the X Window System. To copy text, simply

click and drag your mouse over the text to highlight it. To paste the text somewhere, click the middle

mouse button in the spot where the text should be placed.

4. Using the Mouse

Red Hat Linux is designed to use a three-button mouse. If you have a two-button mouse, you should

have selected three-button emulation during the installation process. If you’re using three-button em-

ulation, pressing both mouse buttons at the same time equates to pressing the missing third (middle)

button.

In this document, if you are instructed to click with the mouse on something, that means click the left

mouse button. If you need to use the middle or right mouse button, that will be explicitly stated. (This

will be reversed if you’ve conﬁgured your mouse to be used by a left handed person.)

The phrase "drag and drop" may be familiar to you. If you’re instructed to drag and drop an item on

your GUI desktop, click on something and hold the mouse button down. While continuing to hold

down the mouse button, drag the item by moving the mouse to a new location. When you’ve reached

the desired location, release the mouse button to drop the item.
