See the line below..?..   WHILE READING THIS... with LH mouse button, highlight
it by dragging with the LH mousebutton (D'clicking won't play).


http://www.somewhere.that.looks.interesting.com/


Still got the mousebutton held down..?..still highlighted..?  Good.  Now tap
the RH mouse button.

OK...now bring up an URL notebook... a command line window, the E editor.. whatever.

Position the cursor with the RH mousebutton and tap the LH mousebutton.

Has this feature been here all along....? (I recall something in NPSWPS which
I was ABOUT to reinstall for this feature....)


I'm running Warp 4 without any addons....

Now...  the question is.. are there any more...?


Clive

PS: If my experience is/was due to particulars to my system, sock colour etc

The  Highlight with LH MB and tap RH MB copied the selected text to my clipboard.
The  Position with RH MB and tap LH MB pasted at that point.

It seems to work everywhere (so long as the app doesn't intercept the mousebuttons
for itself.. EPM, for one).
