Copy & paste within shell using mouse

[kevinhorsey]

Hi

Would anyone be able to tell me how to set up my wireless mouse for copy & paste within a shell? I've searched the FreeNAS and FreeBSD forums without success

I'm writing a script to run with cron and copy/paste using the mouse buttons would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

You could always enable SSH and then use a SSH client like Putty.

M0nkey, thanks for the suggestion.

It would still be nice to have cut and paste when logging into a shell via the FreeNAS GUI - any ideas?

Looks like Charlie Denson has already done it - Feature #73468
