You should be able to copy text just by highlighting it with your mouse, and paste by right-clicking. This is nice, but deceptively simple.

I think Deuce made it that way because those are the only two things the mouse is currently used for when there's an active connection. Adding a context menu or whatever would have been overkill.

if you drag your mouse across it, it copies what you selected, then right

IMO, built-in documentation wasn't really necessary. It's a fairly simple program. And for some features, I accidentally stumbled upon them (such as baud rate simulation - I think it's done by holding the Alt key down and using the up and down arrows to adjust the simulated baud speed). I've found the baud rate simulation fairly handy when doing screen optimizations in my Synchronet mods.

There also seems to be a feature where you can hold ctrl (I think) and use the arrow keys to move it around on the screen.

It's an SDL program, so I never thought of using those keys. If I use the mouse to left click and drag, it will highlight text, when I release the mouse button it is copied. Right click the mouse button will paste.

Gotcha. You didn't specify what platform you were using, I made an assumption I guess.

I just compiled SyncTERM 1.1b under RedHat Enterprise 6.8 and tried it out. Oddly enough, it behaves the same way running on linux under gnome for me. left click and drag to highlight, release mouse and it copies, a right click of the mouse and it pastes.

I suspect it is more related to the variant of linux and the choice of desktop environment.

From the manual http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/src/sy ncterm/Manual.txt:

would be nice if the manual came with the releases though.

that's your opinion but you are a long time bbs user and sysop.

i'm sure for other people that are new to this it's confusing as fuck.

It's the same method that Putty uses (which really has no relevance to being a "long time bbs user and sysop") and I don't hear people complaining about that.

I decided to try syncterm again, and now know why I left in the first pla no documentation.

All I want to know is how to copy and paste on this program, but of couar ctrl v and p dont work, and there is no help section to tell me what does

I love how the bbs looks on it, but other than that, badly done support.

From the manual http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/src/syncterm/Manual.tx

Left-Drag: Select and copy a region (the copy is made when the butto is released).

Middle-click: Paste from clipboard.

If you don't have a 3-button mouse, then pressing both mouse buttons simultaneously is the same as "middle-click".

Synchronet "Real Fact" #56:
Synchronet Terminal Server introduced SecureShell (SSH) support w/v3.14a (20 Norco, CA WX: 61.6øF, 86.0% humidity, 0 mph N wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs

that helps and yet it doesn't. none of those work here.

I switched to full bloat ubuntu 16.04, still doesn't work here.

thanks though.
