I am running SyncTERM since it was what was featured in the "Back to BBS" videos.
However, it seems to be lacking a key feature: copy and paste text to and from.
You guys post http links from time to time and SyncTerm won't let me select text with my mouse. Is there some hidden setting I'm not aware of or should I be using a different ssh-enabled terminal software?

That works for me.. I've always been able to copy & paste to/from SyncTerm.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with SyncTerm, sounds more like PEBKAC.
ALT-B to go into scrollback mode then copy to your hearts content.
Paste works fine for me. I just right click and it pastes.

Bizarre. When I click and drag (either left or right button) nothing is highligted, nor is there any right-click menu option. Keys like CTRL-C and CTRL-V are intercepted by the term software to be forwarded over the connetion.
Are you using mac OS by chance? I think I remember reading about copy & paste not working in the OS X / mac OS version of SyncTerm.

Are you connecting via SSH or Telnet? Doesn't seem like that should matter, but hey -- ya never know.

It seems to depend on what version you're using as to how it works. I can copy quite happily, left click and hold to the end point, it'll automagically copy anything thats highlighted. Select your insert point and right click to paste it in. Occasionally for reasons unknown can't paste from other applications in very happily.

That was the answer. You have to use the scrollback to enable it.
Seems kinda clunky to have to do that, but at least I can copy links
now!

I can't speak for others, but I painstakenly type every character of
my links into every message I send.
This may be a SyncTERM issue. However, feel free to donate just as
much effort as I have!

This is a "I didn't read the manual or ask how to do it" issue, not a SyncTerm issue.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it ain't working, don't use it.
