Copying Text from the ZTI Screen

[john-craig]

Hello,

I am currently using ZTI from the gnome terminal emulator on Redhat Linux. It works very well, however a major issue is that I have to way to copy text from the emulator. Is there any documentation of terminal emulators which support running ZTI in a way that text can be copied from the screen? If not, is this a feature that is being considered?

Thanks,
John C.

When running zti, zti will capture mouse clicks to provide the function where double-click moves the cursor and sends enter - like many 3270 emulators. Often, when mouse clicks are captured by the running program, ascii terminal emulators disable normal mouse selection. But often, they allow you to work around that disablement by holding down Alt or Ctrl or something while you use the mouse to select text. Unfortunately, I don't know if gnome terminal behaves this way or not. But if you haven't tried holding down a modifier key, it would be worth a shot.

Hi Neil, thanks for the response. I tried a few things out and found that for Gnome terminal it was the Shift key with Click + Drag to highlight text. Thanks for your help.
