I'm just using the default config with no change. Do I have to do some extra config change for this? ps - i3 is awesome and i'm absolutely loving it. thanks!Tue, 25 Dec 2012 05:09:02 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/?answer=4943#post-id-4943Simply copy with your `middle mouse button` then use your `middle mouse button` to paste :)Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:33:30 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/?answer=4943#post-id-4943https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/?answer=942#post-id-942I guess controlling copy and paste is not up to the window manager, so you will have to handle clipboard with the terminal you are using. For the record, I use gnome-terminal, and one of its conveniences is to access copy with ctrl+shift+c and paste with ctrl+shift+v.Tue, 25 Dec 2012 10:22:33 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/?answer=942#post-id-942https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/?comment=946#comment-946ok got it.. thanks. did not strike me even though I was all the time using gnome terminal in Ubuntu.. works well now.. thanks again..Tue, 25 Dec 2012 12:21:19 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/?comment=946#comment-946https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/?answer=5396#post-id-5396Hi, if you are on a laptop without a mouse near you, you can copy with the standard `ctrl+c` , and then paste in the terminal with `shift+insert` Cheers :)Tue, 27 Jan 2015 09:11:29 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/?answer=5396#post-id-5396https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/?answer=5374#post-id-5374The middle mouse button copy and paste thing is xorg's doing. As a matter of fact I had read up on this very thing not even four hours ago. I'm not sure if the default is left and right buttons simultaneously for a middle click; if it is it was set by the OS at installation time - xorg is pretty un-intuitive considering installation and configuration scenarios.Thu, 22 Jan 2015 14:53:04 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/941/how-to-copy-paste-from-browser-to-terminal/?answer=5374#post-id-5374
