This lets you highlight text. You then hold B and press Left on the D-Pad at the top of your WiiiMote. This will take you to the search option with the text you highlighted entered. You can then alter the text, select OK and it performs a search using your default search engine.I don't think any other copy and paste facility is possible yet but I might be wrong. It's limited and really awkward but it's better than nothing.More WiiMote shortcuts: - Hold B and press Left on D-Pad = New Search - Hold B and press right on D-Pad = New URL - Hold B and press Up on D-Pad = Favourites (yes I'm English :) ) - Hold B and press Down on D-Pad = Refresh current pageHope this helps.By the way, I love the Wii Internet Channel (plus wireless USB keyboard) and I don't intend to turn my PC on ever again :)I use the Trust Wireless Optical Deskset (£16 GBP from ASDA Wallmart) model DS-3400D and it works perfectly.

Hooking up the USB keyboard certainly beats pointing the remote to choose the letters.My computer is a dinosaur too, used it for "many" years w/ minimal upgrades (most recently changing the power supply).. it even has troubling booting up after the occasional power outage. I should finally get a new one too before it goes out of commission. Nice to keep the above in mind in case of emergency.
