Cmder - Terminal emulator
-
For those of you who have colleagues that work mainly in Windows environments, or even if you work in windows yourself, but find yourself needing to connect to *nix boxes, the normal recommendation of using Putty for a terminal just doesn't cut it. Why? Because copy/paste is a pain. In my quest to find an alternative for Windows users, I stumbled upon cmder. http://cmder.net/
I found this about 10 minutes ago, sent it around the office, and so far, everybody loves it, because they can paste text directly into the terminal now without the need to right click their mouse to do so.
There are probably others out there, but this one works well so far.

Right clicking is hard.

But when you are in keyboard mode, it really is a pain though. -

Alt tab of course!
It's a personal preference for sure, but I hate right clicking to paste text.

And Shift-Insert doesn't work for you.

@fuznutz04 the mouse is your friend... he's there to help.

@scottalanmiller Not to just paste text from your clipboard. Unless I am missing something....

What else do you want to paste into the command line?

It's not different. Let's try this again... sometimes, people want to paste multiple lines of text, or something similar from a notepad on their windows box, into a file on a *nix box. This isn't possible with putty as far as I am aware of. This cmder software solves that.

I don't follow. How does cmder do that in a way that Putty does not?

@scottalanmiller See my edit directly above.

The one that everyone uses in the Windows world for text editing.

How does cmder handle sending a real Ctrl-V through if it hijacks it for pasting?

No one needs Ctrl+V anyway.
