Hi Markus,

I don't like the mouse too, but in Plan9 is different. You can use it to 
copy, paste, drag and drop, execute code, find, ... only in one click. 
Try it, I had the same problem and I "love" now my mouse (you need a 
three buttons mouse!).

Tips:

In a window:

button 1, drag: select.
button 1, drag, and button 2 (middle): cut
button 1, drag, and button 3: paste
button 1, drag, button 2, and button 3: copy :-)
...

You can select/paste where you want. You can use it to change and 
erroneous command and re-exec it.

In acme is more powerful yet!

Try it ;-)
