Copy Pasting on HP-UX terminals

[Shivkumar]

Hi,

I use SecureCRT Version 5.5.3 to connect to HP unix servers.

Sometime when i copy and paste to the terminal i see the command pasted 2 times.

Is this problem with terminal or secureCRT ?
I usually see this problem with couple of unix servers.

Thanks,
Shiv

There are many ways to copy and paste with SecureCRT. You can highlight the text and press CTRL+Insert, then paste the result in the same window or Notepad or Word or another SecureCRT windows with Shift+Insert.

Or you can highlight the text, then press the left mouse button and you'll see a selection of copy/paste options. In the same window, the copy+paste option is quite useful.

I was trying to copy from notepad and pasting on terminals.

If the problem is with copy and paste between
two programs running on a Windows system,
then does it really have anything to do with
HP-UX?

Still lots of choices: How did you copy from Notepad? Did you highlight the text then use CTRL+Insert or CTRL+v? Or have you turned on the Windows copy-paste option in SecureCRT (see http://www.vandyke.com/support/tips/nl102004.html for details). And when you pasted the text, did you use CTRL-v or Shift+Insert? Or do you use a special macro that enables the right mouse button to paste text?

Is this behavior 100% repeatable or is it erratic? Do you have a flaky keyboard or mouse? Are you pasting into a vi session or just on the shell's command line? Or are you pasting into a special application?

I have you turned on the Windows copy-paste option in SecureCRT.

I become powerbroker user and paste the commands on the shell prompt from mouse middle button for paste.

Is there any command to refresh terminal/tty ?

It is fairly unusual to use a 3 button mouse -- this is more common with Xwindows. Try using standard Windows shortcuts instead, Shift+Insert or Ctrl-v.

Refresh? Do you mean reset the SecureCRT settings? Or do you mean how to recall a previous shell command?

[Shivkumar]

I mean refreshing the tty terminals. I know there is some commands but don't remember now.

I don't know what refresh means. Do you mean how to clear the screen? If you are running vi, then the character CTRL-L will rewrite the screen. There is no such feature in the shell as the shell does not remember the screen contents.
