4. Copying and Pasting Text With X

Copying and pasting text is easy using your mouse and the X Window System. To copy text, click and
drag your mouse over the text to highlight it. To paste the text somewhere, click the middle mouse
button in the spot where the text should be placed.

5. Using the Mouse

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is designed to use a three-button mouse. If you have a two-button mouse,
you should have selected three-button emulation during the installation process. If you are using three-
button emulation, pressing both mouse buttons at the same time equates to pressing the missing third
(middle) button.
In this document, if you are instructed to click with the mouse on something, that means click the left
mouse button. If you need to use the middle or right mouse button, that will be explicitly stated. (This
will be reversed if you have configured your mouse to be used by a left handed person.)
The phrase "drag and drop" may be familiar to you. If you are instructed to drag and drop an item
on your GUI desktop, click on something and hold the mouse button down. While continuing to hold
down the mouse button, drag the item by moving the mouse to a new location. When you have reached
the desired location, release the mouse button to drop the item.
