how to enable the very convenient copy/paste editing method in Cgywin?
I installed Cgywin(don't know how to see its version number) under windows xp and so far so good. However, there is one thing very inconvenient for me to use Cgywin, that is, I cannot highlight a text to copy and right button to paste. I am wondering how I can get back this beloved feature. Any advices are greatly appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/how-to-enable-the-very-convenient-copy-paste-editing-method-in-Cgywin--tp29774167p29774167.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: how to enable the very convenient copy/paste editing method in Cgywin?
Thanks, both! I will install mintty, but really cannot follow the next step ... So far the Cygwin is launched through some DOS batch file, thus I don't care what's behind. So if to use mintty, what should I do? Where should mintty be installed(any directory under windows or extract to some directory under Cygwin, which I suppose do not talk to windows)? Further explanations are really appreciated!

Any advices are greatly appreciated! Use mintty or rxvt instead of the windows console. Only mintty please, rxvt should be considered obsolete as cygwin uses now UTF8 and rxvt can't. Moreover we have a really present mintty maintainer while rxvt is dead upstream Marco -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/how-to-enable-the-very-convenient-copy-paste-editing-method-in-Cgywin--tp29774167p29774266.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

You can install Mintty by selecting the mintty package in Cygwin's setup.exe. Just run setup.exe again and select the mintty package when you get to the package selection panel without changing any of the other settings that are already there on other panels. Once installed, you will find a shortcut for starting a Cygwin session within Mintty in your start menu. I'm pretty sure it will be in the Cygwin group. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/how-to-enable-the-very-convenient-copy-paste-editing-method-in-Cgywin--tp29774167p29774579.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: how to enable the very convenient copy/paste editing method in Cgywin?
I am now using mintty. Although it enables copy/paste as the way in linux, it does not seem to support -X option of ssh. I want to run gnuplot on a remote computer and send the graph back to the local computer for me to see, and I use ssh -X to set up the connection. But gnuplot fails and the following information is sent back gnuplot: unable to open display '' gnuplot: X11 aborted. This does not seem to go with cygwin. Any idea towards this?

Thanks a lot, puttycyg works great. It supports -X option, helps maintain connection and support copy/paste.

PS : mintty do paste à la Xwindows (middle button), while putty may do it as you wich (middle or right button), both may copy on select w/ left button. to well render utf-8, choose Lucinda Console font (bold, 8).

Re: how to enable the very convenient copy/paste editing method in Cgywin?
Isn't cygwin the graphic environment? If mintty invokes cygwin, I would expect it to have full feature of support such an environment. But I will try installing xwin32 to see how it works out, Jeremy Bopp-3 wrote: On 09/21/2010 06:44 PM, bsmile wrote: Eric Blake-3 wrote: On 09/21/2010 03:52 PM, bsmile wrote: I installed Cgywin(don't know how to see its version number) under windows xp and so far so good.

You need to install and run the X server. Mintty is just a terminal. Install the xorg-server package. I think the program you'll need to arrange to run is XWin32 or maybe XWin. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/how-to-enable-the-very-convenient-copy-paste-editing-method-in-Cgywin--tp29774167p29775124.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
