Is there a way to revert the 'copy&paste' functionality back to the traditional UNIX way of doing it, highlight the text with left mouse/touchpad button and paste it with the middle mouse/touchpad button.
AFAIK, it *should* work while in CentOS. I mean, when both the select and paste operations are inside CentOS.
Selecting in Windows and pasting in CentOS (and vice versa) has to be done in the Windows-style. I am yet to see a Windows machine configured to have the "select" and "copy" operations merged into one, let alone "paste"-ing with the middle mouse button... ;-)
Any hint | solution | RTFM pointer | advice is more than welcome
Maybe take a look at gpm?
man gpm yum info gpm
HTH, :-) Marko
