slaxemulator@7 5 <note tip>You may experience some problems with any graphical program, some more serious than others. By running them via a Terminal, any output will appear in the Terminal window so you can identify any problems. Just find its command, type it and press ''Enter''.</note>

slaxemulator@7 11 ===== Cannot Copy/Paste =====
slaxemulator@7 12
slaxemulator@7 13 === Symptoms ===
slaxemulator@7 14 * I cannot find the copy/paste feature
slaxemulator@7 15 * Right-click for a menu does not work as expected
slaxemulator@7 16
slaxemulator@7 17 === Explanation ===
slaxemulator@7 18
slaxemulator@7 19 XTerm does not have a right-click menu -- or any other menu for that matter -- but selection is activated by using the mouse buttons.
slaxemulator@7 20
slaxemulator@7 21 === Solution ===
slaxemulator@7 22
slaxemulator@7 23 Selection, copy and paste is achievable using the mouse buttons. The three mouse buttons works thus:
slaxemulator@7 24
slaxemulator@7 25 * //left click// defines where the selection begins
slaxemulator@7 26 * //middle click// defines where the selection ends & copies it to clipboard
slaxemulator@7 27 * //right click// pastes the clipboard contents to the current cursor, not mouse, position
