Select a text area in the terminal using the keyboard
Hi,
any way to select a text area in the terminal using the keyboard?? Ciao |
Screen can do that, it's called the "copy mode", by default it's enabled with C-a ESC.

I think he means "ctrl-alt-escape"
But I would assume this depends on what terminal you are using..... |

It's not related to any given terminal, it's related to GNU Screen (sorry if I wasn't clear enough before), a terminal multiplexer that can do lots of things, amongst them, it allows you to copy/paste without using a mouse. A random web I just googled with some basic info about how to use Screen: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 Of course, first you need to install it, then you can use it on any terminal emulator, or even plain command line. It might be a bit painful at first, but it's once of these things that once you learn you can't live without it. |
