Is there a way to cut and paste into the ssh? I'm using putty and the only access I have to the code is through shell. it just gets kind of repetitive and very slow code writing. Anyway to cut and paste?

Putty for windows is what I use. Seems like it would have something about it. But I haven't found it yet.

Just asking.
Thanks

Every client has its own cut and paste functionality so there is no answer for ssh clients in general.

However you could try ctrl-insert to copy and shift-insert to paste as these are fairly common shortcuts, even in programs that have ctrl-c and ctrl-v available.

Also, Ctrl+Insert (copy), Shift+Insert (paste).

In putty you can copy+paste by highlight and ctrl+c, than paste is easily done by simply right clicking, you must first place the green/color square(cursor) where you want the text to be pasted.


Be careful of long strings, as they get wrapped when pasted and need to be re-aligned to correct any "missing terminating character" etc. errors.
