I use "screen" for cut and paste in a terminal. I wrote a front-end to screen called "splish" which makes it much easier to switch between screens, and does other stuff, I get a splish prompt instead of a bash prompt when I log in / open an xterm.
http://nipl.net/hacks/splish In screen ^A^[ puts you into "cut mode", where you can search through the terminal output with ? and /, and mark the start and end of a selection with ' '; and ^A^] pastes. I changed my screen escape character from ^A to ^J as ^A is used by readline, but ^J normally just has the same effect as pressing enter. (except in emacs, which I don't use in a terminal) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
