Ask HN: Has Putty right mouse button paste put you in trouble?

1 pointsby carlosover 14 years ago
It happened to me again. Pasted in the console lots of garbage because of just pressing right mouse button expecting the context menu to open instead. At least this time was not in a production machine...<p>Does it happens to you?

A few times, but it did nothing dangerous, only created a lot of empty files with stupid names (there were &#62; in pasted text).<p>Anyway, I still think it's useful feature.<p>What bit me hard once on c programming exam was typing: gcc p[TAB]rog.c -o p[TAB]rog.c[ENTER] it's unfortunate bash can't autocomplete names of files that don't exists yet.

Not that I can remember. But I always put a '#' before I paste just to be sure of what I m pasting especially on production.

You can set this to X-style, Middle-button-pastes:<p>Double-click "putty.exe" icon to get "PuTTY Configurtion". Click the saved session to highlight. Click "Load". Click "Window"-&#62;"Selection" category item.<p>Honestly, I can't think why that "compromise" thing even exists.
