I'm am trying to find out how to copy text from the cli to uzbl, without using my mouse.
I can use
command |xclip
to copy. However, I don't know how to paste it into uzbl without using middle click.
Thank you for your time and effort,
cs_student

I am not sure if this works in uzbl, but have you tried
Shift + Insert
You can also use
Shift + Delete
to copy.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Yes, I did indeed try that. However it did not work at first. This was because my keybaord is weird (laptop keybaord). It's not a regular qwerty, so the insert button was supposed to be coupled with the delete button so that I could alternate between them with shift. The default layout wasn't like this so I had to use xmodmap to rearrange my keys into a way that I could use shift+insert without losing any keys which I find vital. I just realized this after trying to do control+shift again. It's been a while since I've used a desktop keyboard, so I forgot that a regular keyboard has a key dedicated to both insert and delete.
It works fine now.
Thanks again for your help,
