Programming the Mouse Button to Copy and Paste Text

Question :

Does TinyTERM have a right-click popup menu?

Answer :

Not at this time.

Question :

Can I still use the mouse to copy and paste text?

Answer :

Yes, but only one function can be programmed to a single mouse button. So you can use the right button to copy or paste text in the TinyTERM window.

To set this up, click on Edit | Session Properties | Mouse. For the button you want to program (left, middle or right), change the option to "Send custom string."

To copy text, enter the custom string:

%o

and click OK. You will need to select text before you can copy it. The left mouse button selects text by default. To select text, drag the cursor over it. When you click to copy, the cursor must be in the TinyTERM window. It does not have to be on the selected text. The selected text will be copied to the Windows clipboard, then the selection will be canceled.

To paste text, enter the custom string:

%p

and click OK. Clicking the programmed mouse button anywhere in the TinyTERM window will then paste the current text on the Windows clipboard to the current cursor position. It will NOT paste the text anywhere you click, but only at the host's current cursor location.

The mouse buttons can be programmed for a number of functions. For a full list, see the TinyTERM Help file
