That's interesting... I thought this was a feature of ROM?

I know that each application has it's own short-cuts but that got me wondering if KingCon or MCX was handling the Cut & Paste.

There is a Clipboards/ directory in Ram Disk: but some apps don't respond to Right-A c/x/p - notably Workbench utilities/GADTools requestors etc.

I find PowerSnap utterly useless. Maybe it doesn't work with MUI or something but whenever I've tried it and paste I get loads of ????????? and nothing else.

Yeah for some bizarre reason Workbench has the Clipboard/ in Ram Disk: but most of the programs won't let you highlight text to copy & paste!

I'm not entirely sure what King-Con does but I use it and it makes the Shell much nicer, adding a scrollbar and buffer. MCX is very nice and recently I've set my middle mouse button to cycle screens, which is incredibly useful. Rather than press 'Left-A m' you can just click and hey presto. Good too for games that don't have a screen swapping button and you're too lazy to do the key combo.

Multi-CX is less bloated to me and offers much neater functions.

I remember setting the middle mouse button on my Wizard Mouse to be walk-forward in Quake. I could shoot with the left button, walk forward with the middle and jump with the right. My left hand remained free to punch the air every time I axed a PC user to death.
