One thing that I don't like about the eclipse editor is the cut and paste
method is always windows like, even when running under X.

That is, I have to select the text with the mouse and type Ctl-c to buffer
the selection, and Ctl-v to paste it, rather than the automatic copying the
selected text to the buffer and paste with the middle mouse button that is
the norm under X windows. This gets very confusing swapping between eclipse
and other applications.

Isn't it possible to configure Eclipse to conform to the local windowing
system CnP convention?
