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
