Copy and Paste with the Mouse

Highlight the text to be copied, go to where you want it copied to, and click the middle mouse button.

Highlight the text to be copied, go to where you want it copied to, and click both mouse buttons at the same time.

If you have a two button mouse, there is no middle button. You can set it up so you can paste by clicking both mouse buttons at the same time.

Go to the Control Panel, then Xvesa. After selecting the screen resolution, select two button mouse. Restart the computer for this to take effect.

To change to a 2 button mouse, open the terminal and type

sed -i 's/-shadow -mouse/-shadow -2button -mouse/' ~/.xsession

Restart the computer for this to take effect.

To change it back to a 3 button mouse, use

sed -i 's/-shadow -2button -mouse/-shadow -mouse/' ~/.xsession

If Xorg is loaded, Xvesa setup will not run.

So it may be easiest to use the commands above.

You may also, move Xorg to another directory, restart the computer, run Xvesa setup, put Xorg back, and restart the computer again.

Another option is to start Tiny Core with the boot options “base norestore,” and run Xvesa setup. If you don't have persistent home, you need to ensure /home/tc/.xsession is saved. You may need to, for example, save .xsession to sda1, then after restarting the computer normally, copy and paste it to /home/tc. Then backup and restart the computer again for this to take effect.
