Hmm…..
that's certainly different than what I'm seeing.
I have a three-button mouse with X11 preferences as shown


If I center click and release I see the PV name pop up briefly then disappear.   If I then go to another window and hit  ⌘-V I don't get the PV name.     This behaviour is the same whether or not I press the option button.

If after center clicking and releasing (and seeing the PV name pop up briefly then disappear) I then hit ⌘-C it appears the the copy to the pasteboard does occur.   I can then go to another window and hit  ⌘-V and see the PV name pasted.

I've discovered a technique for copying the PV name associated with an EDM or MEDM widget to the OS X clipboard.  Perhaps this is common knowledge, but it's new to me so I thought it might be of interest.


For me, using Lion with edm over a remote X session, the option key with a mouse click pops up the PV name (briefly) and puts it on the clipboard so that ⌘-V will paste the PV name elsewhere. I may have had to change my X preferences from default to get this to work, though. Under X11 preferences, all Pasteboard options are selected. I haven't tried Mountain Lion yet.
