Hi,

I have a problem when using Vim and trying to paste text from a webpage. When trying the softmenu to the left of the on-screen keyboard, it doesnt paste anything, but when pressing the hardware menu button and releasing it <F4> gets inserted and cannot be deleted with the backspace key on the keyboard!

Sometimes (like now) it can be deleted, but then a "i" gets stuck, as I was fooling around.

It is not a screen refresh issue since it gets saved and recalled when opening the file again. Very strange and annoying.

Any tips on how to get around that?

The hardware keys in the current X Terminal aren't particularly useful, and - as you've noticed - pasting can be a pain.

The best way I've found is to use the application's soft menu (off the title bar), however obviously you can't be in full-screen mode.

Either double-tap or triple-tap on-screen will bring up the application menu when running XTerm.
