How can I change the behavior of the mouse in Terminal?

Hi,

I hope I'm posting in the correct forum, so here goes. I would like for the mouse right/left click to work in Terminal (OSX) as it does in Putty.

For instance, when I double click 'log' in file.log.gz, only the log part is highlighted (in Terminal), while in Putty the entire file name is highlighted and copied to the clipboard. That's would be issue #1.

The second issue/feature is to have the right click act as 'paste' instead of displaying some pull-down menu.

That's it for the mouse, thirdly I wonder if Terminal could further mimic Putty in as much that whatever is highlighted in the window gets copied to the clipboard or which ever name OSX gives it.

Thanks! Smilie

ksh behavior change on RHEL5

I recently patched a RHEL5 host from 5.2 to 5.5. There are some scripts that simply do a ps and grep to check for itself before proceeding. I personally don't like the way the scripts are written and would have done it differently. Before I can proceed with patching the production servers, I...

xdmxconfig

xdmxconfig(1)						      General Commands Manual						     xdmxconfig(1)

NAME

       xdmxconfig - a graphical configuration tool for Xdmx configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       xdmxconfig [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       xdmxconfig  reads,  edits,  and writes configuration files for the Xdmx server.	The grammar for the configuration file is specified in the
       Xdmx(1) manual page.

       To start from scratch, create a "New Global" and specify the name and overall dimensions for the configuration.	Then use "New Display"	to
       enter more displays.

       If there is more than one configuration, the configuration name button will bring up a selection menu.

       In  the	right-hand pannel, the left mouse button will move the highlighted display at "tool resolution"; the middle mouse button will move
       the highlighted display by a single pixel (at "wall resolution"); and the right mouse button will bring up a menu allowing the  highlighted
       display to be edited or deleted.  The arrow keys will also move the highlighted display by a single pixel.

BUGS

       Currently, entries with the wall keyword are not editable, but will be preserved in the new output file.  The tool will quit when requested
       by the user, even if a configuration file has not been written out (i.e., without warning).  The menu interaction should be improved  (menu
       entries that don't currently work should be greyed-out, for example).  The Help button does not work.
