The third thing I just noticed I can't copy using my mouse.
Yes, you can. If you are using the windows console you can enable this
in the properties dialog and if you are using rxvt you just have to
select the text.
Moreover, using xwinclip can allow you to copy from cygwin windows to
Windows. However, I am still trying to get the reverse to work: namely,
transferring something from the Windows clipboard to a cygwin window.
Just FYI... ;-)
Assumption:
You're running bash in rxvt (I personally do reccommend doing so, unless you
have a very specific reason not to, e.g. running a number of DOS/Windows
console programs).
1 - Use your middle mouse button. (inserts all of it)
(note: Disable Mouse support, if you use nano)
2 - Hit the insert key (inserts first line, prerequisite below)
$ grep paste .inputrc
\M-[2~: paste-from-clipboard # Insert first line of (Win) clip
$ man readline # tells more about possibilities.
$ man bash # as does this
/readline
$ man rxvt # also tells more...
/insertion
