In VT mode the mouse can be used to simplify the cutting and pasting operations.
The left mouse button is used to select a block for copying text to the
clipboard. In VT mode, you should enable the Auto Copy Selected Text feature
which is located in the Cursor Category of the Session Profile. With this
enabled, the system automatically copies a highlighted block to the clipboard
and then removes the selection.
The right mouse button is assigned to the Paste function. Therefore, if
there is anything in the clipboard, clicking the right mouse button will
paste the text to the host system.
