Re: Copy / Paste to / from Dosemu

Kind of on the same subject line here but the inverse of it. How do you get dosemu not to copy/paste with the mouse button. I have an application that reads the keyboard expecting such entries as function keys and user entries. If I accidentaly hit the center mouse button it sends whatever is in the copy/paste buffer to this program completely freaking it out and causing un-intentional actions to occur. Is there a a way to comfigure dosemu mouse to act like it did in MSDOS? The program does need the mouse and can interpet the outside buttons correctly but god help you if you hit the center button.

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you for the reply. What you have written is what I believed still

However, I was intrigued by the following comment from Bart Oldeman
announcing 1.4.0.1:

"Improved copy and paste of text to and from DOSEMU."

Use the middle mouse button to paste the current selection. Perhaps I
sometimes forget that this is a very common mechanism in X to copy &
paste because so many people are used to the ctrl-c,x,v way of doing
things now.

Sometimes you need to use shift too. The improved copy and paste
refers to "extended ASCII" -- before international characters could be
pasted into something completely different but now they are usually
translated to and from UTF-8.
