Is there a faster way to highlight and copy text? Scrolling the trackwheel when trying to copy a decent-sized amount of text (in order to paste it elsewhere) takes quite a bit of time and it's easy to make an error and then have to start over again.

Am I missing an easy solution?

Click select and then roll the trackball.

If you hold the shift key down while scrolling, it will select a character at a time. If you tap the shift key and then scroll, it will select an entire line at a time. If you're looking for a way to select text more than a line at a time, you won't find it . . .

Thanks to all. I was holding shift - the tapping worked.
