Hi all,
Does anybody know what is the name of the tool which is needed to copy some text in a terminal window and to paste this text at the end of the command line using the mouse ?
It is a basic function but really helpfull and it is not installed on my workstation.
I am using Gnome and CentOS 4.1.
Regards,
Jean LEE

So selecting the text and then clicking with the middle button does not paste?
Maybe I'm wrong but perhaps you mean gpm?

Your message is not informative enough. Please describe what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen. Something like this:
I started a gnome-terminal (window 1) I started another gnome-terminal (window 2) I selected window 2 for focus I moved the mouse pointer over some text with the left button held down in window 2 the text was highlighted in window 2 I moved the mouse pointer to window 1 and selected focus I pressed the center mouse wheel button I expected a copy of the highlighted text in window 2 to appear in window 1 the text did not appear
Then you can get some help. But at present, we have only a very vague feeling of what might be wrong.

Gnome terminal supports a copy and paste menu command no? Although I did try the traditional copy and middle click method with two gnome-terminals without problem.
Is your mouse configured correctly/working for copy and middle click pasting in other applications?

I'm not the one with the problem. I can't answer your questions. Until we get more info about what he wants, we can't much help.

OK,
Thanks to all of you for your answers. It just works.
My problem was that before using Gnome I was using KDE. The procedure to copy and paste with KDE is : - select the text in the terminal. - left click a long time on this highlighted text to move it at the end of the current terminal command line or in another terminal window. This procedure is just not the same on Gnome and I didn't find it (Hum!!! Hum!!!)
