Yup, in fact the usual operations I do are done in the same open file (mcedit is my Mutt's default editor) :-) > And here's something funny: I just did a test install of the latest mc: > 4.8.1 and ctrl-ins does not work with that either.

Wow :-O I also found this similar issue: [Shift + Ins] didn't paste from cooledit.clip https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2358 Although the user reports that he can at least copy the text to "cooledit.clip" file, what seems to fail is the paste operation.

Well, mcedit man page is more brief (just 391 lines) but in the end it neither seems to do what it states (I just have also tested in lenny with same results).

As mentioned in the man page these do not work in some terminals so they covered all the bases. Wayne, did you try ctrl-ins in mcedit under script on a vt? Not sure just what you mean by "under script on a vt" but I tried it in a console, as root, and in mrxvt and xterm as a user. Note: I don not care for gnome, at all, so do not have any gnome pgms installed other then some libs that, for some reason, needs them. Hope that answers your question.

As mentioned in the man page these do not work in some terminals so they covered all the bases. /Quote: In addition to that, Shift combined with arrows does text highlighting (if supported by the terminal): Ctrl-Ins copies to the file ~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip, Shift-Ins pastes from ~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip, Shift-Del cuts to ~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip, and Ctrl-Del deletes highlighted text. Mouse highlighting also works on some terminals. To use the standard mouse support provided by your terminal, hold the Shift key. Please note that the mouse support in the terminal doesn't share the clipboard with mcedit.
