[2.34] No way to paste into the terminal using character mode

In character mode, there doesn't seem to be a direct way of pasting the clipboard into the terminal (i.e. send it). Yes, you can use the command line or the editor, but I like the way (or, at least, I am used to the way) in PuTTY you can just right-click on the screen and it will paste. Ctrl-V doesn't appear to do anything, although it is actually sending <22> so I assume that's correct. Edit, Paste does nothing at all. Right-click on the screen does not produce any Paste option. Note that the current ways of pasting are not ideal, because sometimes you want to paste without a carriage return.

Well, Ctrl-V is certainly never going to paste since in Character mode all control keys are sent to the server. Right-click brings up the customizeable menu and I'll consider adding a paste option when in character mode to that. But you can also add one yourself by creating a menu item like this: #MENU Paste {#SENDRAW %clip} or something like that. I'll certainly make the Edit/Paste menu work properly in character mode and have added that to the bug list.

The new 2.36 version of TeSSH allows you to use the Edit/Paste menu command when in character mode.

The v3.04 beta will also be adding Paste to the right-click menu in TeSSH and CMUD whenever you are in Telnet Character mode.

Recommend that Paste be available even when out of character mode, for that "standard windows" feel. Not that I really use the mouse much, but it's nice to have it there sometimes :)

Paste doesn't really make sense when not in character mode. In character mode, Paste will paste the clipboard to the server. When not in character mode, the screen is "read-only" so there is no way to paste into it. You can right-click on the command line and select Paste if that is what you want.
