Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Does pico support cutting and pasting?

[GeorgeC]

Hi:
I'm using pico to try and edit my /etc/my.cnf file. However, I can't seem to cut some settings from a webpage and paste it into the file. I know Crt-U, though it doesn't seem to work with clipboard content.

Any hints?

shift-insert

Thanks! How come this isn't mentioned in Help?

also

ctrl + k = cut
ctrl + u = paste

sorry, didn't read the full question.

To past from clipboard you can usually press the right mouse key to paste

That is dependent on your ssh client. When you paste from windows the server just sees it as a lot of input really fast.

So if your using putty that is how you would do it. Other clients it may vary.

/lame advice that doesn't answer the question at all

Take the time to learn vim - you'll never regret it!
