Anybody knows why not?Could it be because of some sort of key binding problem within the terminal? I have tested mcedit (run inside "script" and also by direct call) on wheezy from gnome-terminal and xterm and "ctrl+ins" seems to do nothing but F3/F5 still does the mark/paste work :-?Right. F3/F5 still select/copy within the file, but ctrl-ins does not copy to cooledit.clip, it does nothing. In the man I find only that it is supposed to work, but the man is huge (3337 lines). This is not something new, I don't ever remember it working. I would like to know why.I had never used mcedit so tried it on Wheezy with version 3:4.7.0.9-2. I used mrxvt for the test. Used Ctrl-ins to copy a line then Shift-ins to paste it somewhere else. Works here as discribed in the man page. I thenm treid it in an xterm and it did not work. As mentioned in the man page these do not work in some terminals so they covered all the bases.<snip> Wayne, did you try ctrl-ins in mcedit under script on a vt?
Note: I don not care for gnome, at all, so do not have any gnome pgms installed other then some libs that, for some reason, needs them. Hope that answers your question. WT
