> Wasn't this a theoretical about if I did switch to using PRIMARY, why I would be upset? Kind of? I like PRIMARY more and was wondering why you didn't. You gave some good points, so I reasoned that it was nice that X gives a choice. I didn't mean for you to imagine getting upset. I just wondered why you preferred CLIPBOARD over PRIMARY. > Middle click scrolls for me. Wow, I totally forgot Windows did that! I never really found that useful back when I used Windows, though. Maybe it would have been useful with a mouse that didn't have a scroll-wheel. Wait... never mind, if there's no scroll-wheel then how can one click it... I see there were some 3-button mouses without scroll-wheels. Maybe if I had to use one of those it'd useful. I missed this part: > And I almost never copy and paste text without using the keyboard to do other things too, so I don't really see why you think it's a benefit that the copy/paste itself only needs one device. It's probably just me, but I don't tend to use both devices at the same time. When I'm mostly typing, I evade the mouse to the point that I'll even browse the web using just the keyboard. I don't like to be constantly moving my hand from keyboard to mouse. It's slower and breaks the flow. When I'm mostly browsing, I'll have my head resting on my left hand or I'll be laying down with just one arm controlling the laptop on my side and it's not fluid to have to either bring my hand down to hit a couple of keys or be moving my hand from the touchpad to the keyboard which I can barely see when laying down. PRIMARY makes it very convenient to copy-paste in these situations.
