How to enable middle mouse button copy and paste with Cygwin?

How to enable middle mouse button copy and paste with Cygwin?

I have a three button mouse. Within a shell (I use bash), on either OS X or linux, the selecting text and clicking the middle button copies the selection and pastes it at the cursor.

"You should install and use rxvt instead of the Windows terminal (cmd.exe). rxvt can be installed by selecting it under Shells in the Cygwin installer and it automatically creates two shortcuts to Programs/Cygwin branch of the Start Menu (at least if you initially allowed shortcuts to be created), one for X and one without. So, you don't need to install X to use rxvt.

In rxvt you can use the middle button like you have used to straight away, without any further configurations. If you want to configure some aspect of rxvt you should refer to

/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-<version>.README

which lists different possiple configuration options and some samples."

"You may wish to consider puttycyg.

puttycyg is a patched version of PuTTY that allows you use PuTTY as a local Cygwin terminal.

(Sorry, SU prevents me from linking to more than one site. :-( I can't even enter the URL to the original PuTTY.)"
