I am unable to select a line in cygwin, atleast by using the traditional windows method of clicking and dragging the mouse curser across the line that i would like to select.

Is there a specific package that i need to install to be able to select a line of code in cygwin? or is there just another linux way?

Enable Mark Mode:

  • Hold Alt
  • Press Space
  • Select Edit
  • Click Mark

This will enter "Mark Mode" and allow you to select lines in the terminal screen.

To Paste:

This is pretty straight forward:

  • Click and drag your selection
  • Right Click to copy
  • Right Click again to paste (in the terminal), or just ctrl + v in another app to paste from clipboard

What you're looking for is bullet number 2. Once selected, right clicking will save this to your Windows clipboard. Right clicking in the cygwin terminal again will paste (if no selection is currently highlighted).
