One thing I really miss in Terminal.app
Authored by: Greedo on Apr 24, '03 01:14:47PM

... is the ability to copy-on-select, and (with my 3-button mouse), right-click to paste.

I use this feature on my Windows box (with SecureCRT from Vandyke), and am always annoyed that I seem to need to select, Command-C, Command-V to do the same thing.

Is there a solution for Terminal.app?

Try iTerm

iTerm does this. (You can enable/disable this feature in the prefs.)

Paste Selection
Authored by: hayne on Apr 24, '03 01:27:09PM

Right there in Terminal's Edit menu is "Paste Selection": Shift-
Command-V
It only works to paste the selection from the same window - you
can't paste the selection from some other Terminal window.

I have a four button mouse (two on the side) with scroll wheel. I
used the "Microsoft Mouse" preferences pane to set my mouse
buttons to mimic the unix buttons when using x11 and
terminal.app. Left button is click, wheel button is option-click,
right button is command-click. Now I can highlight and paste
with left and right clicks, and paste by clicking the scroll wheel. I
kept the traditional finder "right click" by remapping my right
side button to control+secondary click.

I can cut and paste between two or more terminal windows and
xterm windows, but not from terminal to xterm.

Even better, I use an MS Trackball with a couple of extra buttons
and I set up the middle mouse click to paste (as in XFree86)
and one of the spare buttons to copy. Works nearly as well as
always copying the selection to clipboard as in XF86!
