Patrick -

Glad that helped. I find myself working with Unix-like OS most of the time, and I'm very accustomed to the XWindows "use the middle mouse button to copy highlighted selection" behavior. I've noticed that some applications don't support this behavior - BaseX GUI is one of them - and I think the commonality is Java... Swing (? at least as I type this I think that Swing is the commonality).

Best,

Bridger

PS Does MS Windows support this kind of thing? I'm not sure - I don't have a Windows machine handy....

Bridger,

You're right!

I has copy setup on highlighting and that doesn't seem to work, but your
suggestion does.

Thanks!

Patrick
