Overview

There are a variety of terminal emulators available for SliTaz and even more for Linux. SliTaz comes with the venerable XTerm, a basic but functioning program.

You may experience some problems with any graphical program, some more serious than others. By running them via a Terminal, any output will appear in the Terminal window so you can identify any problems. Just find its command, type it and press Enter.

XTerm

Cannot Copy/Paste

Symptoms

I cannot find the copy/paste feature
Right-click for a menu does not work as expected

Explanation

XTerm does not have a right-click menu – or any other menu for that matter – but selection is activated by using the mouse buttons.

Solution

Selection, copy and paste is achievable using the mouse buttons. The three mouse buttons works thus:

left click defines where the selection begins
middle click defines where the selection ends & copies it to clipboard
right click pastes the clipboard contents to the current cursor, not mouse, position
