The middle mouse button pastes the selected text, "home" goes to the start of the line, "end" goes to the end. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.

Yeah I unbound the middle mouse thing when I switched, it was annoying

I taught my wife about clicking the first item and shift-clicking the last item you want selected. She knew about holding CTRL to select/deselect multiple items but not that shortcut. That's when I realized I don't even remember learning most things about operating a computer.

I only recently found out about the middle mouse button thing when accidentally clicking on the new tab button with a folder location on my clipboard.
