You can paste using the right mouse-button.

....but it does. That's the paste action. I use Windows Syncterm as my main BBS terminal and use it all the time. If it's not working then that's another particular issue, but paste in syncterman included and supported feature.

You might be using v1.1 which has some non-intuitive hoops you need to jump through to get copy & paste working.

Try downloading v1.0 from The Bottomless Abyss: https://bbs.bottomlessabyss.net/syncterm/

You can select & then right-click to paste with that version.

Right clicking is the correct way to paste. But version 1.1 is buggy in this aspect. It can get itself in a mood and the mouse paste no longer functions. Press Shift+Insert to paste when the mouse isn't working.

SyncTERM feature requests go here: https://sourceforge.net/p/syncterm/feature-requests/

That said, I paste from the clipboard into SyncTERM all the time (just pasted that link right there). Perhaps the BBS you're connected to is capturing your mouse controls?

Which version number of SyncTERM?

Most likely, you're connected to a BBS which supports mouse reporting, so the mouse clicks are getting sent to the BBS rather than controlling copy/paste. If it's a Synchronet BBS, the mouse reports is disablable for each user account.

SyncTERM v1.0 didn't support reporting mouse controls to the BBS, while SyncTERM v1.1 does. That is most likely the difference you're observing. Disabling the mouse reporting/capture on the BBS side will fix that.

It's a Mystic board. That being said, I've since found out from other users that Syncterm 1.1 has this problem, so it's a bug fix that needs to be addressed.

Or... it's not a bug. Like I said, most likely, the BBS (Mystic in this case) is capturing the mouse controls. This means that SyncTERM can't use mouse selection/button-clicks for copy/paste because those mouse commands are being sent to the BBS.

AFAIK Mystic does not have this ability, I've never heard anyone talk about it, and I've never seen any kind of setting for it in the config settings.

it definitely does.. it's mentioned on the wiki too.

even if that's the case.. most terminals support using some modifier key to temporarily disable mouse reporting while it's held. or perhaps can be configured to force shift-insert to insert the OS clipboard instead of
whatever the terminal program does with it. i duno how configurable syncterm is..

I have tried to test it before, could never get it to work. Can't remember if it was an issue with unpacking it or if it just refused to run.
