Copy / paste in rxvt

[Thanatermesis]

@triantares

Indeed ..... but either way it would be nice if urxvt would allow for the traditional methods.

mmmh, maybe im lost, but urxvt supports traditional methods very well, terminology has just "more features"

basically: just select text with mouse to copy, and use the middle button for paste, this should be the standard in all the terminals / consoles (even out to a tty)

@triantares

There are quite a few laptops/tablets out there that do not have a middle button and the "double finger tap" isn't exceptionally good i.e requires some deftness to not tap too hard or it will be seen as a left click.

that's not a problem in elive you can simulate a middle-click with the touchpad by pressing both buttons at the same time, or if your touchpad don't have phisical buttons, you can still trigger a middle click by doing a tap in the top-left corner of your touchpad (yeah, more unique features of elive :P)
