Hi,
I am not sure how to assign:
1) Select text and copy by a holding button 4 and dragging across text. Then the text should be copied
2) Press button 5 to left click (to re-locate cursor) and paste the copied text to that location
Thanks!

Re: Select text and copy by holding and releasing
This should work...
1) Select "Simulated keystrokes" for button 4. Enter the text: "{LMB}{OU}{CTRL}{OU}c" select method 3 in the "how to send" dropdown.
2) Select Simulated keystrokes for button 5. Enter the text "{LMB}{CTRL}v" select method 1 or 2 in the "how to send" dropdown.
Regards,
Phil

Hi, Thanks. Worked.

Due to no conditions use Button Held or Button Chording or else other button with SimKeys for {ctrl}v.

XMBC does not know if any text is selected or not - so it is unable to decide what to do automatically. So yes, there are options but they are all going to be manual (button held for example, you will need to think about which you want and therefore how long you need to hold the button) or using another button, or using a layer - either way its going to require brain power as XMBC cant do this automatically.

Re: Select text and copy by holding and releasing
Hi Phil,
For a while now I've been looking to reproduce the Linux/Unix X Windows System behaviour for copy/paste on select/middle-click and this is by far the most accessible solution. This is so simple and sublime! Thank you very much! And there's so much functionality in this X-Mouse Button Control to explore — it is mind-blowing.
Kind regards,
Constantine
