The Edit menu allows you to copy and paste text in the terminal window and to make changes to your connection settings.
In the terminal window the Copy option can be
used to copy selected text to the Windows clipboard. The keyboard shortcut
for the copy option is Ctrl+Insert
in the terminal
window.
In the file transfer window the Copy option can
be used to create a temporary copy of the selected file(s) in the file
transfer window. This resembles using the Windows clipboard: You can copy
files to a temporary storage and paste them later into another location.
The keyboard shortcut for copy is Ctrl+C
in the file transfer
window.
In the terminal window the Paste option can be
used to attach previously copied text from Windows clipboard into the
current cursor position. The keyboard shortcut for paste is
Shift+Insert
in the terminal window.
In the file transfer window Paste option can be
used to add previously copied files or folders into a new location. This
resembles using the Windows clipboard: You can copy files to a temporary
storage and paste them later into another location. You can do a paste
operation also by pressing Ctrl+V
on the keyboard in the file
transfer window.
The file names of the pasted files and folders do not change during the operation. Therefore it is not possible to paste files or folders several times into one location.
The Paste Selection option is only available in the terminal window.
Select Paste Selection to paste text without first copying anything to the clipboard. The Paste Selection operation copies whatever is currently selected in the terminal window to the present cursor position. If no text is selected, Paste Selection pastes a single character in the current cursor position.
This function is almost like having two different clipboards available at the same time. The Paste Selection option is especially useful for quickly copying text from the output of previous commands.
Choose the Select All option to select all the text in the current terminal window and the scrollback buffer, or all the files and folders in the current directory in the file transfer window.
Note that in the terminal window, the selection can span quite a few lines backwards from what is currently visible. If you want to select only what is currently displayed on screen, use the Select Screen menu option instead.
When used in the terminal window, this operation makes it fast and easy for example to save long command output strings or to create a temporary log of what is displayed on the screen.
For file transfer, this enables you to operate on the whole contents of a directory at one time. This can be especially useful when downloading, copying, or deleting files.
The keyboard shortcut for Select All is
Ctrl+A
in the file transfer window only.
The Select Screen option is available only in the terminal window.
Choose the Select Screen option to select all the text that is currently visible in the terminal window. Note that unlike the Select All option, Select Screen does not capture the scrollback buffer. This operation can be especially useful for screen captures and quick snapshots of the command output.
The Select None option is available only in the terminal window.
Choose the Select None option to cancel any previous selection. This operation immediately clears the selection in the terminal window.
The Rectangular Selection option is available only in the terminal window.
Choose the Rectangular Selection option to change the selection mode from line selection to rectangular, so that the mouse movements select a rectangular area on the screen.
Choosing the Find option allows you to search for text within the scrollback buffer. For more information on searching, see Find.

Select the User Interface Settings command to edit the SSH Tectia Client user interface settings. For more information on the Settings dialog, see Chapter 5.
