Copying And Pasting with only 2 Buttons

    I work with people who copy and paste alot during the day.

    I was wondering if someone has a script or something that could allow us to copy with a single button instead of using Ctrl-C and then to paste again with another button.

    :confused:

    If you use a SUN computer you'll have buttons on your keyboard for copy, cut and paste ;)
    Once you get used to it it's quite neat to use ctrl+c, ctrl+x and ctrl+v

    Depending on the program they are working in they may be able to create shortcuts. My keyboard at home allows one button copy, paste or cut with the F function on.

    The home, end, delete, etc. buttons turn into copy, paste, cut etc. when in f mode.
