<p>This section concerns X-Window users who are used to cutting and
pasting with the middle mouse button. In the GPS text editor, as in
many recent X applications, the <i>GPS clipboard</i> is set by explicit
cut/copy/paste actions, either through menu items or keyboard
shortcuts, and the <i>primary clipboard</i> (i.e. the &ldquo;middle button&rdquo;
clipboard) is set by the current selection.
</p>
<p>Therefore, copy/paste between GPS and other X applications using the
<i>primary clipboard</i> will still work, provided that there is some
text currently selected. The <i>GPS clipboard</i>, when set, will
override the <i>primary clipboard</i>.

information.
