Click the middle button on the mouse to insert the text (on a two-button mouse, press both mouse buttons simultaneously).With some applications, if a text is already selected in the application where you wantto insert the text, this method does not work because the text in the clipboard is over-written by the other selected text. For such cases, the KDE application Klipper is veryuseful. Klipper “remembers” the last entries you have moved to the clipboard. By default,Klipper is started when KDE is loaded and appears as a clipboard icon in the panel. Toview the clipboard contents, click the Klipper icon. The most recent entry is listed ontop and is marked as active with a black check mark. If an extensive text was copiedto Klipper, only the first line of the text is displayed.To copy an older text fragment from Klipper to an application, select it by clicking it,move the mouse pointer to the target application, then middle-click. For further infor-mation about Klipper, see the Klipper online help.44 KDE User Guide
