unable to copy/paste in mingw shell

Question

I just installed MinGW on Windows and I\'m unable to copy/paste as I am used to on Linux or even PuTTY. What is the trick for copying and pasting text (e.g. from chrome) into Mi

Answer 1

@mrt's solution above is permanent. Here's a quicker way for any 16bit prompt in Windows:

COPY

Click on the icon on the top left > Edit > Mark, select the text and then right-click

PASTE

Similar process as above (use Edit > Paste) OR just press INSERT key
