As for the middle button - that assumes I have a laptop with a middle button, which I don't. The industry defacto standards of Teraterm and putty both behave in this way (no menus on right click, just paste). This will irritate the hell out of anyone in the networking industry as all the standard tools have this behaviour. Missing the point there though Vincent - it's not about learning keyboard shortcuts - it's about reducing the number of clicks and button pushes required to do something really simple. So that's how to use a Windows app to fix a Linux annoyance.(!) Doesn't happen every day but at least it's a temporary method to stop you going mad. You may want to ensure the SSH server starts by default - more googling may be required depending upon your setup. It's just a shortcut away then and your terminal does what you want. Now you can use Putty as per normal, so you can pass command line args etc. Save the session as per normal and check it works. Set yourself up a connection to 127.0.0.1 over SSH. WIne will do the hard work and make it work. Personally I restricted mine to only accept connections from myself. Probably best have a good read on the net for more info here. Look for PermitRootLogin yes and change this to no! Terminal, then type sudo apt-get install openssh-server Simplify and beautify.Īnd for those Newbies wanting to use the WINE Putty method, but assuming some knowledge. Context menu being used here without any relevant context requiring a user choice. New tab/new terminal I can almost go with, but not really - if they took copied text, opened a new window/tab and pasted it in I could get it but as it is, sorry not relevant. Right click - are any of those options immediately relevant? Other than paste, no. Now, click somewhere so that nothing is highlighted. Now why would you ever do that? Right click and look at the options - there is only one singular option that when text is highlighted is at all relevant - copy. Many laptops simulate a middle button by pressing both buttons together however be aware that this isn't always the easiest of tasks.Ģ) Keyboard shortcuts (missing the point a bit)ģ) SSH into your own PC (127.x.x.x) using PuTTY via WINE to support this behaviour(!).Ĭase for auto copy and right click pasting text in terminal You may have hardware issues finding your middle button though. (see later)ġ) Some terminals auto-copy and the middle (yes middle) button will paste. Some Windows (and I'm guessing network engineering) converts are asking for it but no-one in Linux world really understands the request, I sadly do though. Ubuntu has this as a generic listed suggestion but there is a raging debate ongoing as to if this should be a behaviour or not. Yes, unbelievably (I await to stand corrected) there is nothing out there that can do this. Ok, well I have answered my own question. Had to switch to Chrome very quickly after Mint install cos Firefox died on me about 5 times in the first day (hung, died then wouldn't restart without reboot) - can't be doing with that. When trying to register on the forum in Chrome there is no anti-spam graphics so you cannot possibly enter the text it requires. To date I have had to resort to a full on hard reset to get a desktop back and try another resolution - getting bored now.Īny/all responses gratefully received I did look at the forums and searched first, honest! This doesn't seem to be a default behaviour in Mint - is there something I can click or type to change this? It's driving me potty.ĭoes anyone know how to tell Chrome that when I single click in the 'address' bar I want all the text highlighted so that if I then type it overwrites everything by default?Īny good keyboard shortcut to override any screen/resolution changes you made? Just that I have an external screen that once activated turns laptop and external screen to a blank black background (but oddly with a useable mouse cursor across both). In terminal I am used to highlighted text being automatically copied to the clipboard, then using right click to paste (i.e. Hi all, hope someone can tell me how and where to click or what to type!īasically I have been using Unix for many many many years but have only in the last release of Mint been able to actually happily live with Linux/Unix as an only OS on a PC - great job people! Finally after many years you have another convert! That aside, the q:
