| Example:
<aliases>
<alias
match="copy"
enabled="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
cmd = GetCommand()
st = GetInfo (236) -- start column
en = GetInfo (237) -- end column
if en == 0 then
selection = cmd -- no selection, take all
else
selection = cmd:sub (st, en) -- get selection
end
print ("Selection is", selection)
SetClipboard(selection) -- put on clipboard
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

This alias will copy the selection to the clipboard. Of course, if you run it as an alias the clipboard will then contain "copy". You can however make a macro which has "copy" in it, then you can press (say) F5 when you have text selected in the command window and the selected text will be copied. |
