Command Line Copy text to the Windows clipboard
Too bad highlighting the text and a right mouse click doesn’t work. But if you work with command line a lot, there is a way, and this is how we do it:
- Right click on the command window's title bar and click Properties.
- Click the Options tab.
- Check the box that says "QuickEdit Mode" on the right side of the dialog box.
- Now you can left click within the command window and drag a box around the text that you want to select.
- Right click anywhere in the window or just press Enter to copy the text to the clipboard.
- Paste it into a Windows document in the usual way.
What if you want to go the other way around, and paste content into a command window? When the text is on the clipboard, just right click anywhere inside the window (as long as you aren't in select mode as described in step 4 above.
