I am not sure if it is even possible. This will require a server that |
| 7 |
catches all keystrokes from the keyboard, decide whether the |
| 8 |
keystrokes are to be sent to the application or to gpm, and act |
| 9 |
accordingly. |

If you are in a position to select text with your mouse, I think you |
| 12 |
are usually in a pretty good position to paste text with your mouse. |
| 13 |
(Even for one button mice, if you read 'info gpm', which has more |
| 14 |
details, I think it shows you how to rebind a Metakey+mouseclick |
| 15 |
combo.) |
| 16 |
|

You can of course do some sort of cut-and-paste on the console using |
| 18 |
readline. With the history buffer, if you have typed one long command |
| 19 |
before, you shouldn't need to do it again :) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Else I'd just use Vim's built-in yank and pop with splitwindows. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Maybe it is possible to integrate readline with gpm? Never thought of |
| 24 |
that, and google doesn't show anything useful either. |
