Copying Text

Another feature of your environment is the ability to copy text between windows. This works differently than Windows or Mac OS. By highlighting an area of text, said text gets stored into a memory buffer. You can copy this buffer to another place in the current window or a different window by pressing the middle mouse button (the scroll wheel in most cases).
