Hi All,
Fedora Core 26 Scientific Linux 7.3 Geany 1.29
I dearly adore Geany as I can use it over an SSH X11 connection.
Butttttttttt, it does not support the Primary Clipboard (mouse over and center click). It only supports the Secondary Clipboard (<ctrl>c< <ctrl><c>) -- a Windows thing.
This is a real pain in the neck (not my exact word). It is annoying as *** ALL *** my other Linux programs support it and it is a muscle memory.
Is there any work around or plans to fully support the clipboards in Linux, not just the reduced function clipboards that Windows supports?
Many thanks, -T

Middle click pasting the primary selection works for me, within and into and out of Geany and AFAIK has always worked, maybe your SSH does something unusual. More information needed.

Hi Lex,
I was trying to mouse over and paste from a local copy to a terminal.
And the Secondary Clipboard is working to and from Geany from and to Thunderbird.
Hmmmmmmmm! !!!!
And now it is working to and from a terminal as well.
Me things something was amiss in either that instance of Geany or Terminal. And restarting both fixed the issues.
So, never mind ... mumble, mumble

p.s. When I am ssh-X11ing into a remote Geany, I will make a local backup copy of my file by opening Geany locally, doing a <ctrl><a> and <ctrl><c> on the remote Geany, then doing a <ctrl><V> on my local Geany. Works beautifully. (Secondary clipboard).
