VirtualBox Guest = Fedora 14 with OpenBox and Eterm
Basically, no selection you make in Eterm can be copied with Ctrl-Ins the expected way into Windows.
Copy Paste Hell Between Windows Host and Linux Guest in VirtualBox gave me part of the solution:
Install xsel with:
> sudo yum -y install xsel
And use the following command to capture selection in Eterm:
> xsel | xsel -b
The problem is now to bind it to a key, let's say Ctrl-Ins ;), in OpenBox.In ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml, add the following:
<keybind key="C-Insert"> <action name="Execute"> <startupnotify> <enabled>true</enabled> <name>xsel</name> </startupnotify> <command>sh -c '/usr/bin/xsel | /usr/bin/xsel -b'</command> </action> </keybind>Do not forget the sh -c or it won't work.
