Selecting text

In the source pane, left-click a word to select it. Drag your mouse over an open or close parenthesis to select all the text in between, including the close or open parenthesis.

You may find when selecting text, the debugger performs a command as soon as you release the mouse button. To prevent the debugger from issuing the command, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting text. Alternatively, you can configure the debugger key bindings to prevent issuing commands.

You can select or highlight the text in the debugger and Editor windows to copy to other windows. To select text in these windows, position the mouse at the beginning of the text, press the left button, and drag the mouse until the desired text is highlighted. Click twice to select a word.

To deselect the current selection, click in an area without text.

You can also transfer your selection to other window applications that support pasting, such as an xterm; however, different applications may behave differently so consult their reference manuals. Generally, when you select text in one window, any previously selected text is deselected.
