Re: [arch-general] only root can select/copy text using gpm

I think that links uses the mouse for control (not tested, using elinks since a while).

i guess you are right. though links manual claims "mouse supported with gpm installed". they are not clear on what this actually means at all. i resolved it very simple way. i dumped links and installed lynx instead. :-) lynx provides fully featured support for a mouse out of the box. works as a charm.
