Hello, I would like to be able to button1 or left click select text from a pdf and left click again to copy to the clipboard, then paste into my terminal using button2 or middle click. This seems to work for some applications as described for example from chromium to the terminal. However this doesn't seem to be configured in evince. I looked at dconf-editor for an option, but didn't see one. I found a post about an "autocopy" configuration setting for firefox. However my searches didn't find any way to configure this for evince. Then can somebody tell me how to configure this?
Hi, Without details of which version and system you are using, it is very hard to say. However, my uneducated guess is that you are using Wayland (likely in a recent Fedora), and that feature does not seem supported on applications that can run natively on Wayland (which is not the case of Firefox). That is only explanation that occurs to me, as I use X11 and the selection + middle click works as expected... in X11. -- Germán Poo-Caamaño http://calcifer.org/
