Copying and Pasting Text to and from the Clipboard
The following sections apply only to Exceed onDemand Client for Windows.
To copy text from an X application to an operating system native
application:

- Configure Exceed onDemand for the X selection your X application uses for copy operations.
- In your X application, select the text that 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 you release the mouse button after text selection.
- On the Exceed onDemand Desktop menu, click Edit, Copy X Selection, and select To Clipboard. If you are using the native window manager in multiple window mode, you can also access these features on the X application system menu. The text selection is transferred to the operating system clipboard. You can paste the text stored in the clipboard into one or more operating system native applications that support pasting of text.

- On the Exceed onDemand Desktop menu, click Edit. Click Paste To X Selection and select From Clipboard.
