Just a short tip, maybe some you have already figured this out by accident, I know I did. X11-type cut and paste now works in the terminal. On a three-button mouse, right click to mark text, then middle-click to paste. No need to do command-c and command-v to cut and paste (it still works though).

10.3: Use X11-style cut and paste in Terminal
Anyone know if this works in other apps?
10.3: Use X11-style cut and paste in Terminal
On a three-button mouse, right click to mark text...
Not exactly. Middle-clicking will paste whatever text you have selected in Terminal. It doesn't use the system clipboard at all - good, as I hate the way the X equivalent can get overwritten with any arbitrary selection.
10.3: Use X11-style cut and paste in Terminal
As the original poster, this hint was a bit sloppy on my part ... It should ofcourse read "left-click". I also noted later on that it only works in the same terminal. No cut and paste between different terminals...
10.3: Use X11-style cut and paste in Terminal
Works for me. Nice tip!
10.3: Use X11-style cut and paste in Terminal
Iterm does this as well (v. 0.7.7) but it also allows you to cut and paste between different iterms, as well as two and from X-windows applications and OS X applications.
10.3: Use X11-style cut and paste in Terminal
People should also try out 'screen' (unix app that comes with OS X) to have multiple virtual terminals inside a single Terminal.app. I've gotten by with having only a single Terminal.app open.
thanks for "screen"
OMG This is so great! Thanks for alerting me to the command line utility
screen. I can tell it's going to be a big help to me. For those who would like to have multiple terminal session without opening multipe terminal.app windows type man screen in terminal and learn about screen.
10.3: Use X11-style cut and paste in Terminal
If you bring up the contextual menu in a Terminal, you'll see that you can paste the current selection using shift-command-v.
10.3: Use X11-style cut and paste in Terminal
I have a reprogrammed mouse. Middle button is already assigned to click-lock globally. I will need to figure out how to enabled the default action in Terminal...
10.3: Use X11-style cut and paste in Terminal
I love this one! Does anyone know how to patch OS X to have this feature work with all OS X applications?
I love the Mac but still hate the Command-C Command-V style of cutting and pasting. Especially on the Mac (where you use the mouse often and you now even have Mighty Mouses) this would be a great benefit. |
