- <p>Dragging in the text area with the middle mouse button
- creates a selection without moving the
- caret. As soon as the mouse button is released, the selected text is
- inserted at the caret position and the selection is deactivated.</p>
- <p>This feature has two additional, more suttle behaviors:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>If there already is a selection when you start middle-dragging, the selection
- will be replaced with the region you marked with the mouse.</li>
- <li>Holding down <b>Control</b> while dragging the middle mouse button marks a
- rectangular area, and pastes it vertically at the caret location (or into the
- current selection).</li>
- </ul>
