I know gpm keeps its own clipboard...don't know how that interacts with ncurses, nor X...but for me, the copy/paste is not so important as cursor postioning.
REMARKS and TODOS 1. Mouse events should be received via ncurses functions, it would allow
not only xterm but also gpm as mouse event provider (at least docs say
so :) )
2. Using copybuffer in a file does not allow copying and pasting to /
from other applications, but there is no clipboard notion in curses (or
I don't know about it), and tn5250 is not an X-window app, so using X
clipboard seams not a good idea - what if we run it in text mode?
How about Shift-Insert for PASTE_TEXT? That is the standard Wordstar (also used in many, many, many other apps) keymapping...CAE seems to have adapted this (presumably Shift-Insert does otherwise there...)
6. I used Ctrl-Insert and Shift-PgDn for COPY_TEXT and PASTE_TEXT keys because that's Client Access' default setting. If you have a better idea feel free to change it. I will set it for my users to Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V anyway.
