To configure or use a mouse to copy and paste at a terminal on a FreeBSD system, you can use the tmux
utility.
tmux
is a terminal multiplexer that allows you to use a mouse to copy and paste at a terminal. It is not installed by default on a FreeBSD system, but it is available in the FreeBSD package repository.
To install tmux
, you can use the pkg
command. For example:
pkg install tmux
This will install the tmux
utility on the system.
Once tmux
is installed, you can start a tmux
session by running the tmux
command. For example:
tmux
This will start a tmux
session in the current terminal.
To copy and paste using a mouse in a tmux
session, you can use the following steps:
Press the Ctrl + b
keys to enter tmux
command mode.
Press the [
key to enter tmux
copy mode.
Use the mouse to select the text you want to copy.
To copy the selected text, press the Ctrl + w
keys.
To paste the copied text, press the Ctrl + y
keys.
You can find more information about the tmux
utility and its options in the tmux
documentation or by running the tmux -h
command.
Alternatively, you can use a terminal emulator that supports mouse integration, such as xterm
, gnome-terminal
, or konsole
, to copy and paste using a mouse at a terminal.
You can find more information about terminal emulators and how to use them to copy and paste using a mouse in the documentation for the specific terminal emulator you are using, or by searching online.
