I have a mouse connected when I'm when I'm working in DeX but I notice that I can't copy and paste. Of course the first thing I did was right click of course I mean that's what we are use to right! I tried using the Spen but that didn't work either!

Anyone else notice this issue or know of a work around?

I would normally left click the mouse and drag it to highlight what I want to copy and then right click to select the copy command. If you right click first it won't work because you haven't made your selction. You can also use PC commands ie Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-v to paste.

Ok I'm going to try it again. I do highlight prior with the mouse and then try to copy but it doesn't work with this tablet. But I haven't tried the PC commands I for got about those. Thanks for responding and the suggestion. I will let you know if it works!😉😊

As a matter of interest Ms Charli, I have just purchased a TECKNET Bluetooth Mouse and Arteck Bluetooth Keyboard for working within Dex as my desktop replacement BUT came across the same issue as yourself... I did use the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V and this worked well, And I have now tried left clicking my proposed selection, dragging it to the right which does select it but I do not get any options on Right Clicking the mouse??

As you have many more months of experience of these issues maybe you can tell me - or give me some advice of the best mouse practices you have found on the Tab S4 in Dex with mouse use.

I have also found that when using the Google Chrome App ( which is my preferred Browser across my many devices) I am having issues when I try to left click on the Option to turn on Desktop View. When I left click the Burger Bar (top Right) it appears for a few seconds and then as I mouse the mouse down to select something the menu disappears - which is extremely annoying - to the point of nearly swearing at the device (okay sometimes I do!) ... have you or anyone else come across this issue?

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions given.

Enjoy your week! :)
