Hello guys, does anyone know how to copy and paste with Linux+SyncTERM+Mystic? Thanks.

I'm not sure, honestly, and it's one of the major reasons I use NetRunner instead.

When you enter the BBS doman, just add a :## where ## is the port.

Ex: mybbs.com:2323 will use port 2323. The only distinction is that if it's actually an SSH port, make sure you designate it as such, and then enter in a bogus username and password in the phonebook.

Not possible, Netrunner don't accept "shifted" charachter on my system...

In SyncTERM, selecting the text with the mouse copies it into the clipboard. Right-clicking the mouse button pastes the text.

it does not highlight/copy anything.... maybe a mystic problem?

Theres an ANSI code that sysops can pass to SyncTERM users which sets mouse support, but most sysops don't pass that code. Here are a few tricks to get copy/paste working on stock [or unmodified] Mystic BBSes;

Press Alt+B to enter scrollback mode. When in scrollback mode, you'll notice that selecting text using the mouse now shows a blue background - any text you select is copied like normal.

To paste, make sure you're out of scrollback mode [Press Esc] and to paste
type Shift+Insert.

Does that help out? :P

That's a good point: if the server/BBS has enabled mouse reporting in the client (SyncTERM), then the mouse can no longer be used for copy/paste operations. Using scrollback (Alt+B) is an effective work around if you can't disable the mouse support on the server/BBS side.

Trust me, theres plenty of us Mystic ops who still value SyncTERM and figure out all the ins and outs of how to make best use of it. :P

I wish there were m0re options that supported both ANSI, RIP, C= and other emulations... SyncTERM is by far the most complete set of features in any [bbS] terminal soft. :P

I recommend using tmux. I think this works on screen, too. Running SyncTERM
in curses mode (syncterm -iC), go into tmux copy mode (^b-[). You can then
copy anything you want either from the current page being displayed or from syncterm's scrollback.

Oh, that does mean running syncterm from a console, obviously.

Press ALT-B to scroll back then you can copy. Highlighted text is
automatically copied to the buffer. Press escape to exit from
scrollback. Ctrl V or Shift-Insert should paste.
