Originally reported on Google Code with ID 1392

Required information!
OS version: Win7   x86/x64
ConEmu version: 131125
Far version (if you are using Far Manager): n/a

*Bug description*
Can't drop text into the console. This is INCREDIBLY useful for following checklists
of commands from our wiki.

Instead I get an error: 

===
Drag object does not contains real file names!

Can't drop here from containers like Zip or Outlook!
===

*Steps to reproduction*
1. Select text in browser (or any Drag & Drop source)
2. Drag text to console
3. Release


It would be ideal if you just took the CF_TEXT

Hm... may be
But Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V is working and may be faster.

True that it works, but I would bet it isn't faster. 

Dragging & Dropping doesn't trigger or require a change in focus. You can just keep
dragging one line after another. If you include the newline, it will automatically
execute the command and you can see the results and do it again. Much nicer for directions
that contain a bunch of commands and where failures in between commands screw everything
up (and therefore, you don't want to cut & paste everything at once).

CTRL-C, CTRL-V: Select, cut, click, paste. Repeat.
Drag & Drop: Select, drag, release. Repeat.

Also, D&D doesn't require any keyboard, which can be useful.

Maybe its just a style thing, but I've dropped terminal programs that couldn't do drag
& drop for exactly this reason. It'd be great to have that support for ConEmu.
