PuTTY's copy and paste mechanism is modelled on the Unix \c{xterm}
application. The X Window System uses a three-button mouse, and the
convention is that the left button selects, the right button extends
an existing selection, and the middle button pastes.
PuTTY's copy and paste mechanism is by default modelled on the Unix
\c{xterm} application. The X Window System uses a three-button mouse,
and the convention is that the left button selects, the right button
extends an existing selection, and the middle button pastes.
Windows typically only has two mouse buttons, so in PuTTY's default
configuration, the \e{right} button pastes, and the \e{middle}
button (if you have one) extends a selection.
Windows often only has two mouse buttons, so in PuTTY's default
configuration (\q{Compromise}), the \e{right} button pastes, and the
\e{middle} button (if you have one) extends a selection.
If you have a three-button mouse and you are already used to the
\c{xterm} arrangement, you can select it using the \q{Action of
mouse buttons} control.
Alternatively, with the \q{Windows} option selected, the middle
button extends, and the right button brings up a context menu (on
which one of the options is \q{Paste}). (This context menu is always
available by holding down Ctrl and right-clicking, regardless of the
setting of this option.)
