Re: Re: Copy/paste with SyncTERM

Hello guys, does anyone know how to copy and paste with Linux+SyncTERM+Mystic? Thanks.
Theres an ANSI code that sysops can pass to SyncTERM users which sets mouse support, but most sysops don't pass that code. Here are a few tricks to get copy/paste working on stock [or unmodified] Mystic BBSes;
Press Alt+B to enter scrollback mode. When in scrollback mode, you'll notice that selecting text using the mouse now shows a blue background - any text you select is copied like normal.
To paste, make sure you're out of scrollback mode [Press Esc] and to paste type Shift+Insert.
Does that help out? :P
That's a good point: if the server/BBS has enabled mouse reporting in the client (SyncTERM), then the mouse can no longer be used for copy/paste operations. Using scrollback (Alt+B) is an effective work around if you can't disable the mouse support on the server/BBS side.
