In addition, the pointer may be used to cut and paste text:

          Button 1 Down    Start Selection
          Button 1 Motion  Adjust Selection
          Button 1 Up      End Selection (cut)
     
          Button 2 Down    Insert Current Selection (paste)
     
          Button 3 Down    Extend Current Selection
          Button 3 Motion  Adjust Selection
          Button 3 Up      End Selection(cut)

Since all of these key and pointer bindings are set through the
translations and resource manager, the user and the application
programmer can modify them by changing the Text widget's translations
resource (Note: Actions specific to aXe, for examples of the
mechanism).
