In addition to this question: PuTTY how to select text and copy text using keyboard ONLY
I want to copy all text from file that I see in PuTTY to my Windows session. Something that in Windows would be done with Ctrl + A.
What is the equivalent in PuTTY?
Edit:
What I actually have is a long text file.
In Putty I can forward to the "next page" using Ctrl + V or simply going down with the arrow rows. The limit of row that I can see is with the height of my screen. If I could to see all of them I would simply mark them and copy them.. But I can't....
Think of it like a 400 pages long of word document you simply click Ctrl + A in the document and then you can copy it all. This is what I need in PuTTY.
copy all text from file that I see - That's pretty vague. How do you "see" it? What tool/command do you use to "see" it? – Martin Prikryl – 2017-03-07T07:59:06.567

Check my answer - Though you still didn't explain what tool/command do you use to "see" the file. – Martin Prikryl – 2017-03-07T08:07:18.117
You have actually asked this already few months back: http://superuser.com/q/1156010/213663

PuTTY cannot access the other lines on your remote editor. And the remote editor cannot access the local clipboard. The period. There's no way around that! Use a local editor that supports SFTP or SFTP client with editing capability. See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_editor
