i'm looking for PuTTY ALTERNATIVE that can do that, BECAUSE it cannot be done with putty. – Itay Oct 27 '12 at 17:01
If you'd take the time to read all the answers, you'd see that some alternatives are actually given, as well as some workarounds with PuTTY. – Aurelia Oct 27 '12 at 17:06

Shift+Delete copies from putty, Shift+Insert pastes. There isn't an alternative for selecting text without the mouse but in the other answer there is a copy-all option mentioned – adavea Jan 17 '17 at 14:18
@adavea.. agreed.. However, I think most people who are asking this question are looking for a keyboard only option. We are using VIM to improve coding efficiency.. so want to get away from the mouse. if we use shift+delete or Cntrl+Insert, we have to use mouse to copy.. so we can just use left click anyway to copy.. – alpha_989 Jul 24 '17 at 14:07
@adavea, I am compiling a list of potential options here.. though I started with the same question above.., from all the answers I have read here https://stackoverflow.com/posts/45271895/.. if you know anything better please mention it so we can reduce such questions and make it easier for newcomers to get to the answers quicker. As it stands right now, it took me a while to get to this page.. – alpha_989 Jul 24 '17 at 14:08

In kitty at least the backspace key works opposite to putty!

Shift + INS works to insert text.

I think an Autohotkey script could help in general, like the one for the CMD in Windows enabling CTRL+V. However, I could not find a putty/kitty script. Probably you can adapt the existing one:

#IfWinActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
^V::
SendInput {Raw}%clipboard%
return
#IfWinActive

Marking text by SHIFT and CURSOR keys might not work, I assume.
