Copying and Pasting Text to and from Files
This section applies only to Exceed onDemand Client for Windows.
To copy text from an X application to a destination .txt file:

- Configure Exceed onDemand for the X selection your X application uses for copy operations. For more information, see Setting X Selection.
- Select the X application text you want to copy.
- If required by your X application, type a keystroke combination, or select the Copy menu command on the X application to copy the currently selected text into the X selection buffer. Many X applications automatically copy when the mouse button is released after text selection.
- On the Exceed onDemand Desktop menu, click Edit, Copy X Selection, and then To File. If you are using the native window manager in multiple window mode, you can also access this features on the X application system menu. In the Copy X Selection To File dialog box that opens, browse to the local directory where you want to place the file, and click Save. The text from the configured X selection is copied to the destination .txt file.
Note:

By default, the text X selection is saved as a .txt file. |

To paste text from a .txt file to an X application:

- Configure Exceed onDemand for the X selection your X application uses for paste operations. For more information, see Setting X Selection.
- On the Exceed onDemand Desktop menu, click Edit, Paste To X Selection, and then From File. If you are using the native window manager in multiple window mode, you can also access this feature on the X application system menu. In the Paste File To X Selection dialog box that opens, select a file. The text from the selected file is transferred to the currently configured X selection.
- Paste the text from the X selection into your X application window using the method specific to your X application. Typical X applications paste the text X selection into their window, usually at the insertion point, when you click the middle-mouse button. In the X application window, select a paste menu command or type the paste keystroke combination.
- Repeat step 3 to paste the text stored in the X selection into one or more X client windows, provided the target X applications support the same X selection for paste operations.
