Copying and Pasting Text

To copy text, select it and use the Edit->Copy menu item. Additionally, selecting text with the mouse will cause selected text to be copied to the X selection.

To paste the text currently in the clipboard, use the Edit->Paste menu item.

Additionally, text selected with the mouse may be pasted by clicking the middle mouse button at the desired position.

Tip

If you are using the KDE desktop, you can retrieve earlier copied text from any application using the Klipper icon in the Kicker icon tray.
