Unix or sqlplus style copy&paste

[alec]

Hello forum,

I have a little suggestion regarding the way command window handles the copy&paste. From my point of view it's a little bit frustrating to do a copy&paste in actual version of the command window. Suppose I have a big buffer in the command window and I want to copy and paste a text fragment nine or ten pages above. In this case I have to scroll up to the desired text, to select it and... from this point things become ugly: ctrl+C to copy into the clipboard, after that I must scroll down to the actual prompter and to paste my selection. I think it will be a great improvement to have an option like "Unix style copy&paste" or "Sqlplus style copy&paste" and after selecting the text to be enough just to right click the mouse button and the paste operation to take place.

In the Command Window you can use the EDIT command to edit the current buffer, and also navigate through the buffer history. This makes it easy to run similar statements, or copy the whole or parts of previous commands.
