|
|
Do you know of a terminal program which allows for copy and pasting? Currently I use the default xterm from within x. I can then lunch a kermit console session to a Cisco device. I'd like to be able to copy and past within the resulting terminal window. It would also be nice to be able to copy and paste when working with text files.

you can highlight what you want to copy, then middle click into the window you want to paste. _________________ John5788 |

In case you have just two-button mouse you can use shift+insert for pasting.
The Konsole program from KDE has RMB menu with copy/paste.
Personally - I rarely use it |

and if you ALT-F# to a virtual console if you start the gpm service (via /etc/init.d/gpm start) it gives you a mouse in the virtual console allowing you to highlight say an error and tehn ALT-F7 back to the GUI envirumenment to middle-mouse to paste it (or paste it into a VIM instance in a virtual console) _________________

|
|
What I'd like to do is have a console session opened to a Cisco device via kermit in a terminal window. Next issue a show command in the console session. Next, copy a portion of the output displayed in the terminal window to say a Open Office document. I have a three button mouse laptop. If I highlight a portion of the terminal window out put and press the middle button, the highlighted text is retyped in the terminal window which is not really what I want. Also, the highlighted text is unavailable to paste into a Open Office document. Thanks for your suggestions.

Konsole supports clipboard as desktop environments understand it. I don't know any other terminal emulator that does it. Maybe Gnome-terminal? Or multi-gnome-terminal? |
