copy-paste

[ovince]

hi All

Is it posible to adjust Copy and Paste in Cygwin to Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v?  I do it in very unrobust way now (right-click, properties, mark;  right-click, properties, copy; right-click, properties, paste). It is very unpleasent.


thank you

hah yeh that has teed me off as well for past few years with XP as well...
if you can figure out a way to do it via XP's cmd.exe also as well
cygwin's command line, would be great.

hah i figured it out after so many years, good old google...

Open up a Cygwin Bash Shell and click on Properties in (click top left
corner in command window), then the Options tab, and check Quick Edit
Mode...

Same applies to XP cmd window. open up a cmd window and goto
properties, and then Options Tab, and check Quick Edit Mode

Enjoy,

You might want to use rxvt.  To select text, just highlight it with your mouse.
To paste it elsewhere, use CRTL-V.

Thanks!

rxvt is a terminal emulator.  If you don't know what that is, think of it as dos
command prompt.

To use rxvt, select the rxvt program when you install cygwin using setup exe.
Then, fire up rxvt on the cygwin command line by typing rxvt on your shell.

Then, you can cut-and-paste in the way I've mentioned in the previous message.

And by the way, you don't need to change the subject of the message
to [ANNOUNCEMENT]. I've removed it.

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Carlo

thanks Carlo,

No chance to change it after instalation?  

By chance I discovered that right-click marks easily what I want, another right-click copy it, and another right-click paste it.  This is good also

Hmmm, looks like there's something wrong with your email client.
The reply quotes don't look fine. And it adds the [ANNOUNCEMENT]
string on the subject.  I've removed it *again*.

In any case, I don't know what you mean by "to change it after
installation".  If you mean the cut and paste settings, then no.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Carlo

I use 'reply' to reply to you ('reply to author' I guess is to reply to me). And my subject looks fine

No. It does not look fine.

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-03/msg00286.html

Why does [ANNOUNCEMENT] keep getting added on the subject.
There is *something* wrong with your mailer. I've removed
it *again*.

And if you look closely at the contents of the above link,
your own message is quoted by your mailer.

There is *something* wrong with your mailer.

These spurious [ANNOUNCEMENT] subjects seem to be popping up from a
number of people. It seems unlikely that they are all doing this
intentionally (though I agree the quoting must be a mailer problem.) I
wonder if there isn't some way the cygwin.com mailman installation
sometimes gets confused and modifies the subject line.

Oliver, I don't suppose you have a copy of one of your messages in your
Sent folder that you could send along with full headers to show that it
didn't have an [ANNOUNCEMENT] subject when it left your machine?

If you use Window's terminal (cmd.com) to host bash, then you must use
Window's notion of copy-n-paste (and their terminal is rather dumb at
copy-n-past semantics, as you have noticed).

If you use rxvt or xterm, you get Unix semantics, where by default,
highlighting text copies it to the clipboard, and middle clicking pastes
it to the terminal.

Additionally, if you use bash as your cygwin shell, there is a cygwin-only
hook in readline (actually maintained upstream! as a cygwin-only patch)
where you can use .inputrc to rebind Ctrl-V to paste-from-clipboard,
rather than the Unix default of quoted-insert.  At which point, ctrl-V
will work for pasting into your terminal, regardless of whether you use
cmd.com or rxvt.  It is also possible to rebind Ctrl-C, but that makes
less sense, as it is not easy to highlight terminal text without the mouse
(and once you've highlighted it with the mouse, it is already easy to copy
without requiring an additional keystroke).

P.S. Copying from cmd.com picks up rectangular regions, with
awkwardly-inserted newlines, while copying from rxvt or xterm picks up
continuous text, and understands lines longer than the terminal width.
Yet one more reason that I _greatly_ prefer rxvt over Microsoft's
brain-dead excuse for a terminal.

It looks to me as if they are happening on messages sent via the nabble
forum. For example,
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-03/msg00286.html> has this at the end:

View this message in context:
http://www.nabble.com/copy-paste-tf3374100.html#a9392075
Sent from the Cygwin Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

If you follow that link the message does not have the [ANNOUNCEMENT] in the
subject when displayed there.

You're using Nabble.  It looks like this is a Nabble problem.  The rest
of us that are subscribed to the mailing list (which is what this is,
not a web forum) see it differently:
