I want to establish a connection with my COM Port but the settings are different. I want to turn on Local echo as well as Newline with Enter. How can these settings be changed in MobaXterm.

Please help I can't find it anywhere. Thanks

If you right click on the terminal and select "Context Menu" > "Change Terminal Settings" then you can set local echo to "Force On" as well as other settings like CR with LF etc.

EDIT: See screenshot of a terminal for how to get to the "Change Terminal Settings" screen.

  • No there is no possibility to go into context menu. – A I Nov 08 '21 at 09:41
  • Hi! Please see my edit for a picture of what I mean – xle Nov 08 '21 at 09:56
  • That is what I was looking for, but changing those didn't make any difference to. I am still using the other tool. But thank you that is good. – A I Nov 09 '21 at 10:48
  • I would like to add you must not have set "Past using right click" feature in the terminal setting – draco951 Jun 01 '23 at 10:42

If the context menu doesn't appear, then first disable "Paste using right-click" in Settings...Configuration...Terminal

  • To be fair, this does partially answer the question. The issue is that, if "Paste using right-click" is enabled, there is no way to get to the context menu, and no indication that a context menu even exists. Following these steps to turn off this option will allow you to then follow the steps provided in the other answer to turn on the echo option. – klaust Nov 23 '22 at 12:43
