From console applications, you have to go in the title bar, right click,
and select edit/copy... That's a limitation of the console support code;
perhaps CygWin could extend this, but I'm not sure...

Not for NT. Under "Properties/Options" of the system menu you can set
"QuickEdit Mode" which allows cut and paste with simple mouse clicks (no
menuing). This isn't and option on 9x though...

Hello Everybody.
Actually on Win95 if you want to get Copying/Pasting to work you:
1) go to Properties
2) select Misc tab.
3) Uncheck Fast Pasting!!! <- this is important, Fast Pasting doesn't work
with CygWin
4) Check QuickEdit.

Is it possible to copy and paste text via the mouse buttons in Windows NT
(as is possible under X-Windows and/or by using gpm under linux)?
Thanks,

Yes!
- Open the properties dialog of the console window.
- The `options` contain a toggle button, named `Quick edit mode'.
It must be ON.
- Save the properties.
Now you are able to use left mouse to mark. Try it. The marking mechanism
works in another way as with gpm and many other apps (sigh!).
If sth. is marked, pressing the right mouse button is same as `copy'.
If nothing is marked, pressing right mouse button is same as `paste'.
Important hint: While sth. is marked, every keypress only beeps! Fortunately,
the console window headline contains a word as 'Choose'. I'm not sure,
because I only know the german OS, which shows the word 'Auswählen'. Pressing
a mouse button without moving the mouse leaves the marking mode.
Hope, this helps,
Corinna
