12
13OCCURRENCE      <all inputfields>
14
15DESCRIPTION     The motif GUI does not support "normal" copy and paste bindings.
16                Instead you have to use the following bindings:
17
18                        * Copy = Ctrl-Insert
19                        * Paste = Shift-Insert
20                        * Cut = Shift-Delete
21       
22                Selecting text works as usual: Shift+<cursor movement>
23
24                It is as well possible to use the mouse to select text.
25                Selected text can be pasted using the middle mouse button (w/o
26                the need to explicitely perform some copy operation).
27
28EXAMPLES        None

30WARNINGS        Copy and paste inside the same textfield does NOT work as expected
31                with motif GUI. If you run into problems, try the following:
32                        * select and copy your text
33                        * paste it somewhere else (e.g. some texteditor, ...)
34                        * copy from there and paste into ARB
35
36                Copying pasted text OVER selected text does NOT work as expected
37                with motif GUI. Instead you have to delete selected text first, then
38                copy wanted text and then paste it.
39
40BUGS            The whole copy and paste mechanism provided by motif is considered a bug!
