Paste Options Tab

The Paste Options tab contains options which determine the rate at which pasted characters will be fed to the destination application, and a setting that determines whether CR/LF pairs in the clipboard data should be converted to CR only:

Paste pacing causes the text on the clipboard to be sent to the server application in multiple transmissions with a limited number of characters in each transmission and with a delay between each transmission. Because a paste appears to be keyboard input to the server application, there are sometimes timing constraints on how quickly the server can handle the characters without losing any of them. If paste pacing is off, all of the characters on the clipboard will be sent at once. If it is on, then the number of characters specified on the property sheet will be sent with the delay specified between each transmission. The default setting for this option is on.

This setting specifies the number of characters to send in a single paste transmission if paste pacing is on. The default value is 80 characters.

This setting specifies the number of milliseconds to wait between paste transmissions if paste pacing is on. The default value is 200 milliseconds.

Check this box if you want carriage return / line feed pairs (CR/LF) to be converted to carriage return only before pasting to the server application. While the normal text clipboard format on Windows has CR/LF pairs terminating each line, most UNIX applications expect you to type a carriage return only at the end of each line. Therefore, when connecting to a UNIX server, you probably want to have this option turned on. The default setting is on.
