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:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | < 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 > |
