Re: mastering the console & gpm mouse management
I use "screen" for cut and paste in a terminal. I wrote a front-end to screen called "splish" which makes it much easier to switch between screens, and does other stuff, I get a splish prompt instead of a bash prompt when I log in / open an xterm. http://nipl.net/hacks/splish In screen ^A^[ puts you into "cut mode", where you can search through the terminal output with ? and /, and mark the start and end of a selection with ' '; and ^A^] pastes. I changed my screen escape character from ^A to ^J as ^A is used by readline, but ^J normally just has the same effect as pressing enter.

This is a result of mouse support in ncurses I believe. There's no - links (and elinks/links2) doesn't use any features from ncurses. The part where gpm links to ncurses serves no useful purpose.

Hi Vincent, links running in a terminal under X responds to mouse actions. This is a result of mouse support in ncurses I believe. There's some code floating around that provides mouse support in ncurses which predates GPM I think, which resulted in confusion when running the two together.

But what can I do with it ? Usually it works as follows. At least that's how it works at my system: Select text with your left mouse button. Press the right mouse button to paste it on the command line or Emacs or wherever your are. In the X environment pasting can usually be done my clicking left and right simultaneously. I'll demonstrate by selecting and pasting some text from the gpm manual... :) To select text press the left mouse button and drag the mouse. To paste text in the same or another console, press the middle button. The right button is used to extend the selection, like in `xterm'. Two-button mice use the right button to paste text. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] Public GnuPG key: keyserver.net ID 0x1735C5C2 "Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning." - Winston Churchill -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The left mouse button selects text, and you paste with the middle button. Just like in X apps. -- - Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
