He is probably not the only one who would like such functionality though and I therefor decided to write this little article that reviews the software. I prefer that a software does not install itself on my system, a unpack and go type of software and x-mouse is exactly such a type. Download the executable, run it from a location on your computer and the freeware is active. It places a small icon in the system tray.

Windows users might find the procedure to copy and paste text with the middle mouse button confusing at first but will surely love it once they get used to it. You highlight a portion of the text with the left mouse button as usual and hit the middle mouse button once the complete text is highlighted. This will copy the text to the clipboard. The next click of the middle mouse button would paste the text if the application allows it. It makes not sense to try and paste the text to the website, you need a editor for this or a form field on the website.
