Binary Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Hi ever since I stopped using linux, for like a day now I have been sorely missing this feature : when u selected text it would automatically copy it to the clipboard then I could use my mouse wheel to click/paste it into any other program. I think this is a great feature and makes things alot easier, but I have been searching the net and cant find any program that can do this on windows, I'm sure it could be easily done, and I'm sure a program like it is out there, but I am getting so frustrated when I keep selecting the text and forget to copy it first : Anyways if anyone can help me out on this one please reply, I'm sure alot of others would also find this handy :D Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binary Posted February 19, 2002 Author Share Posted February 19, 2002 Thanks for the reply but I need it to be able to do it in any app including the command prompt :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 im not sure of a third party program that does what your looking for. i know there are certain programs, such as mirc and bersirc, who when you highlight something it automatically copies it to the clipboard, but as for the mouse wheel to click and paste it... I have no clue :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happymonkey Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 download microsoft intelimouse software from www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouse and set any button to copy, including the mouse wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binary Posted February 19, 2002 Author Share Posted February 19, 2002 thanks, but I have a logitech cordless balless mouse, I dont think the software would work for it, maybe though, I'll check it out. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPfreakus Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Binary, is working with intelimouse software? ... I'm just curious :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCowboy Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 uhm, download mouseware from the logitech site, it allows you to set a specific action for the extra buttons (i have a cordless logitech mouse as well, two buttons, wheel, and thumb button) and in mouseware, you can set the wheel (when it's clicked that is) to "paste" hope this helps.
