Re: how to enable the very convenient copy/paste editing method in Cgywin?
I am now using mintty. Although it enables copy/paste as the way in linux, it
does not seem to support -X option of ssh. I want to run gnuplot on a remote
computer and send the graph back to the local computer for me to see, and I
use ssh -X to set up the connection. But gnuplot fails and the following
information is sent back
gnuplot: unable to open display ''
gnuplot: X11 aborted.
This does not seem to go with cygwin. Any idea towards this?
