I've never had issues with XP and 7, apart from easily fixed ones. Dunno, I'm too stupid to use Linux etc.

Um, since when has that been a problem in KDE? That's one of the things that annoys when I'm forced to use Windows. I can't just hover over ANY window and scroll, even the one in focus. I have to hover over the scrollbar itself to get it to scroll. And if the window isn't in focus, I have to bring it into focus.nux wrote:Ah, you reminded me of how xfce allows you to do this, but changes focus to that window.kyle wrote:When forced to use linux one of the first things that annoys me is I am no longer able to hover over an inactive window and scroll.

I'm getting some crossover behavior, where middle-click will still paste whatever you last ctrl-c copied, provided you didn't highlight anything in between. That's what I was sloppily describing above.Lucifer wrote:Your control-c clipboard is independent of the middle-click clipboard.
Yep, I briefly mentioned here a clipboard history add-on I'm using as a dock applet under Cario/GLX-Dock. It has a configuration option as to which items it should remember: Clipboard, Selection, or Both. 'Both' is bad because every little thing you highlight—say, when editing text—gets sent there and just clutters it up. Gladly, that option is there to make it actual clipboard only. Or, it also has an option to separate Clipboard and Selection, but the Selections are still mostly useless to me. It also has the option to have a "list of persistent items which can be accessed with middle click," whatever use that may have.Also, there are clipboard apps to expand your clipboard so that it holds a lot more than just whatever you last copied/cut. You can go back through the history and retrieve stuff. Neat.
What are some of the cons you see in this? Having liked this feature I really do not see any.Phytotron wrote:Personally, I'm indifferent to any of these behaviors, including the Linux (is it all Linux distros?) way of scrolling out-of-focused windows. They each have their pros and cons and in the end it's a wash.
