Hi All,
Question:
What I need to set (configure) to make 'middle' button on the touch pad acting as a '__paste__' button when I run LINUX (CentOS 6.2) as guest on MS Windows 7 Home premium ?
Details:
LENOVO T520 laptop
touch pad with 3 buttons
pointing device (red small mushroom) between GHB keys
vmware host: MS Windows 7 Home Premium edition 64-bit
vmware guest: CentoOS 6.2 64-bit
vmware player version: 4.01
As you all know, on UNIX/LINUX the copy/paste function works slightly different than on MS Windows-ware. All I need to do is to A) press left button and move the cursor to highlight the text of interest, B) release left button and then C) paste the buffer with click on the middle button.
Unfortunately, this function does not work on the guest OS. In order for me to do the copy/paste, I need to highlight the text, click on right button, select 'copy' to movethe highlighted text into the buffer(clipboard), move the cursor to the destination position, click the right button again and select the 'paste' function.
Is there a solution or workaround to solve the issue ?
Any hint | solution | RTFM pointer | advice is more than welcome
Regards
Igor
