So in summary after copy or cut, I am never sure whether shift-insert or the mouse-middle-button will paste the just cut text. Frequently, neither works properly.
Anyone else? Any suggestions? This is one of those minor annoyances that is extremely frustrating at times.
Middle-mouse should paste what is currently highlighted (without needing an extra copy step), right-mouse/paste or the keyboard equivalent should paste whatever you last right-mouse/copied. Usually application menu edit/copy edit/paste are the same as the right-mouse versions but sometimes they go their own way.
That's actually a huge help. I have been highlighting + ctrl-c and THAT is what creates the problem.
Thanks MUCH!
