GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 558611
Add option to auto-copy selected text
Last modified: 2008-10-31 11:55:22 UTC
GNOME Terminal could really use an auto-copy tool, like in PuTTY - when user selects something on the screen, selected thing is automatically copied to the clipboard. It is way more convenient to double-click on something and then right-click to paste it, instead of selecting, right clicking, selecting copy and then right-clicking. I realize that it may be inconvenient for some users, but it is inconvenient for me (and I believe for some other users too) to right-click to copy, that's why it should be implemented as an option (like Edit->Automatically copy selected text).
Just use middle-click which will paste the selection.
It seems I have to read GNOME manual. Sorry for spamming Bugzilla...
