Copy & Paste within SSH session
Hello.
I made a setting yesterday that worked like a champ, but when I closed down RDM, I guess it did not save.
I have a few SSH shell entry sessions with SFTP set to automatically open the file transfer window (I move stuff back and forth quite a bit), with default folders both local and remote.
Every new SSH shell entry I create, when I copy something from my local machine and do a Ctrl-V in the SSH shell terminal window, I get the "^V", and I have to right-click and Paste in the SSH terminal window.
Yesterday, I obviously changed something, somewhere, that allowed me to do a simple Ctrl-V of my keyboard in the SSH shell terminal window, and it pasted my clipboard contents.
What change did I do for that, and where do I find it again!?

Is there no one that can point me in the right direction?

Hello Chuck,
Thank you for contacting Devolutions Support.
In your entry Properties, under the "Advanced" section, can you check what the "Mouse Click mode" is currently set to? Could you try the different options to see if one of them works better for you in this case?
Let me know,
Best regards,
Samuel Dery

That's what it was - thank you.
Windows = Menu presented when right click
Default = Menu presented when right click
XTerm = Absolutely nothing happened when right click
Compromise = Automatically pastes what is in the keyboard buffer
So Compromise is what I was looking for. Interesting that it has to be this setting, but thanks!
