copying and pasting in rxvt

copying and pasting in rxvt

[Oleg]

Hi

How can I get copying and pasting to work in rxvt like it does under X? I
want to be able to slect text with the left button and paste it with the
middle button ("emulated" actually: I just press both left and right buttons
at the same time). I used to have it work on my other computer (laptop). The
setup seems to be identical, but it doesn't work now.

Thanks

Try putting:

"\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard 

in your .inputrc.

With this, copy/paste work perfectly in rxvt for me.

But this belongs to the 'insert' key on the keyboard.
Cut&Paste with mouse is built in rxvt, double-click/triple-click to copy
word/line to the clipboard, left click somewhere and following right-click
to mark the whole area (and immediately copit to the clipboard) and
<shift-left-click> to paste (or <insert> with the above entry in
.inputrc)

And while editing .inputrc, consider to add some more goodies:

$ cat .inputrc
# This file is read by the 'readline' library
# (the library which bash uses for its command-
# line editing facility)

# Make Home work
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
# Make End work
"\e[8~": end-of-line
# Make Delete work
"\e[3~": delete-char
# make Insert work
"\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard

More goodies (for rxvt only):

# ctrl-left and ctrl-right
"\eOd" : backward-word
"\eOc" : forward-word

ahh, this was the missing step. I never knew, what key code sequences could
be used to assign a function at the key combination I wanted to.

:)

Thanks,

man readline
(though e.g. paste-from-clipboard is not in there IIRC).

Jorg,

Here's what I did: I used "od -c" to determine what are the actual 
sequences generated by the keys I cared to map and then wrote a .inputrc 
file based on that.

Here's a hint, RXVT and the Windows console do not agree fully on key 
mappings (nor are the completely distinct).

Here's the ".inputrc" file I use. It works both with RXVT and the Windows 
console:

-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-
# set completion-ignore-case on


# Console:
#   F1 - F5
"\M-[[A"    "fg %1\C-M"
"\M-[[B"    "fg %2\C-M"
"\M-[[C"    "fg %3\C-M"
"\M-[[D"    "fg %4\C-M"
"\M-[[E"    "fg %5\C-M"


# RXVT:
#   F1 - F4
"\M-[11~"   "fg %1\C-M"
"\M-[12~"   "fg %2\C-M"
"\M-[13~"   "fg %3\C-M"
"\M-[14~"   "fg %4\C-M"
"\M-[15~"   "fg %5\C-M"


# Both Console and RXVT:
#   F6 - F12
"\M-[17~"   "fg %6\C-M"
"\M-[18~"   "fg %7\C-M"
"\M-[19~"   "fg %8\C-M"
"\M-[20~"   "fg %9\C-M"
"\M-[21~"   "fg %10\C-M"
"\M-[23~"   "fg %11\C-M"
"\M-[24~"   "fg %-\C-M"


# Console:
     "\M-[1~":   beginning-of-line       # Home
     "\M-[4~":   end-of-line             # End


# RXVT:
     "\M-[7~":   beginning-of-line       # Home
     "\M-[8~":   end-of-line             # End


# Both Console and RXVT:
     "\M-[2~":   paste-from-clipboard    # Insert
#   "\M-[5~"                            # Page-Up
     "\M-[3~":   delete-char             # Delete
#   "\M-[6~"                            # Page-Down
-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-


The attachment is the same file in Unix EOL format with tabs intact. The 
tabs are meant to be set at four-column intervals.

I suppose most people will find my use of the Fn keys unimaginative, but at 
least you now know what sequences they generate on each emulator.

is there any documentation for the key mappings ? I tried without success to
bind something to ALT+CurUp or ALT+CurDown. Even more, is there any way
identifying the keys of the number block ?

Regards,
Jörg

The emulated 3rd button only works if you massage the configuration files
to do this (like linux system installers do). Otherwise you might like
to try Shift-Left Click. (BTW, if you've got a wheel mouse, the wheel counts
as a 3rd button.)
