This is pretty easy to get around. Take your JFW cursor, place on the top line where your host name or IP address is listed and press a right click either with a mouse or with your jfw key 9 option. Other screen readers should have the equivalent mouse click facility. Here you'll get the various options such as copy to clipboard, change settings, minimize, etc. If you do the same move but instead of clicking on the bar you click with in the window it will paste to the terminal window. Use your screen reader's mouse functionality to do this. Thanks Scott On May 19, 2011, at 8:08 PM, Ben Mustill-Rose wrote:
Hey all,
I need to paste some text into a file which I'm modifying via vi which resides on a machine that I'm connecting to using putty. For those of you that don't know, control v for paste won't work inside putty; it just sends the charactor that control + v represents. The idea is that you can right click anyware inside the putty window and the text will be pasted in. This isn't usually an issue, except I'm working on a system without a mouse. I did try using expan drive (A great product for mounting sftp locations as drives in explorer) to find the file that I want and then modify it in notepad, but doing it this way bash seems to see some strange charactors which are stopping the script from running - I think it might be the different way that windows and linux do linebreaks.
I did think I'd found a way to paste; hal doesn't offer any form of cursor mooving as far as I'm aware, so I loded up narrator, told it to move the mouse to the active item, opened the putty window then used hal to perform a right click, but this doesn't seem to work.
We're talking quite a few lines of code here so I don't really want to echo them to the file line by line if it can be avoided.
As always, any solutions or tips will be gratefully received, but I think I'll be going into s3 soon since its just past 4AM in the uk.
Cheers, Ben.
