Description Berend De Schouwer 2011-05-07 05:25:45 UTC 
It would be nice to be able to paste things into the search box.  It would be great since there's already a Wikipedia and Google button.

Right click does nothing.  (middle click and right click clipboards are still separate on this thing)

Clicking on the box and pressing Ctrl+V to paste XA_CLIPBOARD works for me...

Would you like to be able to paste XA_PRIMARY by middle-clicking in other text entries, too?
Comment 2 Berend De Schouwer 2011-05-07 08:40:16 UTC 
Ctrl+v works.  Mouse doesn't.  Neither middle-click nor right-click.  I guess I'm too mouse-centric :)

I can middle-click and right-click the text into gnome-terminal and gedit.  I can also use Ctrl+v in gedit and Ctrl+shift+v in gnome-terminal.

Two button mouse (touchpad), so maybe it's a mouse emulation thing.

Then it's a dupe :-)
