Copy And Paste Problem

[tonyav]

Today my computer seems to have developed a copy and paste problem, it will left click and highlight whatever I want to copy and paste ( YouTube or text ) and the right click gives me the box containing the options undo, cut, copy, paste, paste and search, delete, select all, edit search engine. I click on copy yet when I want to paste whatever I have copied I right click and the box that comes up says back, forward, reload, save as....., print....., translate to English, view page source, view page info, reload frame, view frame source, inspect element.
But no paste option, anybody know why, please.

Sorry, no idea, but have you tried highlighting what you want to copy with the mouse and then using the Control key and c for copy and Control and v for paste?

[Psybbo]

That's what I was going to type ^^

[tonyav]

I'll give it a try, angie.

[tonyav]

Just tried that and it worked, thanks.

[angie55]

No problem.

[tonyav]

Won't do it of the mouse though ( I've even tried a different mouse ), any ideas on how to fix this.

[tamborine]

check your mouse settings & disable 'click lock'. Am not on pc atm but hope this helps

[tonyav]

Tried that, tambo, still doesn't work.

[Psybbo]

Have you cleared your internet history, Tony?

control X will cut and store

( and then control V to paste, and of course workd more than once )

control A will highlight All
and control S will save ( sorta autosave )
control B for bold

[tonyav]

Yes I have, Psybbo.

[tonyav]

Thanks for that, Peter. But why won't it work on the mouse though.

[Psybbo]

Just checking if it works for me

Tony, I Click (mouse) on the video , press control C and the control V here o 'Enter your Tube link here'

[angie55]

For everything you do with the mouse, there is a quicker way using Control, Shift, Alt or Function keys on the keyboard. The keyboard is mightier than the mouse!

....even Mightymouse?

[tonyav]

See if it works for me then, Psybbo.
