I regularly use ssh to get to a linux shell from which I use emacs (for the time being I don't have a simple GUI, nor any fancy X so my linux, and emacs access are through ssh'ing into a shell account I pay for). When I try to copy/paste into emacs, to save as a file or into the *mail* buffer say from my browser for example, there are often problems with dashes, single and double quotes, etc. It took me a whie I have to admit to even figure out this was not an emacs issue but one with the terminal program insisting on interpreting those...suddenly it activates emacs search (control-s) just because part of the paste had some single quote in it, etc. Very strangely, every once in a while, the pastes don't have this problem even with those characters...In any case, I'm wondering if there is a simple solution? I don't think there's an emacs mode or emacs feature I can use to fix this (is there?) and if not, is there a better ssh client anyone can name, or a mode or setting I am missing on my client, so I can just copy/paste into emacs from the browser even with those quotes/dashes characters?
