COPY SELECTION AND PASTE WITH A CLICK ON THE SCROLL WHEEL

[Mary1]

Hello to everyone!
I would like to know how to set :
selection of a text (which is copied to clipboard) and paste with the central wheel.

Windows 7 My mouse: M105 Logitech

Thanks

Do you mean every time you select the, you want it copied to the clipboard just in case you want to paste it with the middle button?

That is not currently possible and I'm not sure how easy that would be to implement (as XMBC would have to hook other windows messages to know the was selected)

Hard luck!
On Linux is by default and is a very useful feature. For example: if you want to fill out a form:
to paste the username CTRL C/CTRL V because it remains in the clipboard and you can repeat the command.
Then you want to paste the password without deleting the username from your clipboard: select and click directly on the form with the wheel.
So you can keep two separate clipboards.
Do you have to re-enter again? to paste the username use ctrl c, for the password use the wheel.

At least the second part, paste with the wheel can be achieved?

Thanks

Yes, paste with the wheel can be achieved, just select "Paste (CTRL+V)" for the wheel's button.
As to the first bit, there are other programs that can do it so I know its possible - but its not something I have looked at before, and to do so may not fit well with the current XMBC design so we will have to see!

Thanks,
Phil

Yes, the paste with the middle button press was easy to figure out.
I would also really like to see the Linux type copy action with button1 work. Mary1, have you figured out a way yet? Have you found another program that may do this?

Thanks!
