| May 22, 2024 at 9:06 | comment | added | Magnus Lind Oxlund | Mouse scrolling in Micro over SSH is painfully slow compared to Nano. It will scroll 5-10 lines in chunks every few seconds with no indication of when it's done. | |
| Feb 2, 2024 at 14:22 | comment | added | Peter B. | Excellent answer. I found out that the Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v copy-paste function has its own buffer. So to paste something cross-system Ctrl+Ins or middle mouse button must be used. On the other hand, it can be handy being able to juggle two different buffers concurrently. | |
| May 31, 2023 at 21:21 | comment | added | Jay Brunet | @bass-t You're right, I just tried it. ctrl-e > set mouse false > cut from the terminal > ctrl-e > set mouse true Very easy. I'm guessing you could create a macro to make this more efficient. | |
| Apr 25, 2023 at 15:03 | comment | added | bass-t | micro is great but copy-pasting from a Windows system or from one Linux file to another on SSH is tricky. The only way I found (on the Windows cmd terminal) was to disable micro's mouse support. Then you can copy into the Windows clipboard by selecting with the mouse (not keys) and Right-mouse-click, and paste with Shift + Right-mouse-click from it. Essentially this makes your windows terminal do the copy-pasting, not micro, see background info. | |

| May 17, 2021 at 22:40 | comment | added | Chameleon | Best of the best! Thank you! If you access console from PUTTY, forget it. With PUTTY you cannot work with Shift-Arrows. Try KITTY (it is a fork). If you don't want to use KITTY, then you can use mouse(!) instead of Shift-Arrows in PUTTY. | |
| Apr 13, 2021 at 18:34 | comment | added | phil294 | Sorry to nitpick, but for actual Windows-like shortcuts (mostly ctrl+arrowkeys) you need to add a few key bindings yourself: github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues/1142 | |

| Jan 3, 2017 at 14:31 | comment | added | Aleksandr Dubinsky | This is probably the most "modern", as evidenced by the default color scheme and choice of supported languages. However, the keybindings differ significantly from something like Sublime, it's a PIA to change them, and many keyboard shortcuts are simply not supported. | |
