Copy/paste in a console

Whatever the console:

You highlight the text to copy/paste.
You left-click where you want to paste.
You click button 3.

The copied text will be the last one that was highlighted.

Thank you all!

Regarding the type of console, actually, I didn't know, it's xterm, I checked with ps.

Only Fricky42's solution works for pasting into the console, however, I still haven't found a way to copy from the console.

Hi,

What console do you use? xterm, gterm, kterm, konsole?

In konsole, right-click copy/paste works

in shell, ctrl c means stop, not copy
right click / paste should work

however, depending on the program you need to do ctrl c or right click/copy to copy
since you don't know, sometimes you have to do both before pasting

Hi,

If you have the possibility, install the software konsole (with a k). It has many improvements compared to xterm ;-)

If I copy text from outside and paste it into my console, it works.
If I copy text from the console and paste it back into the console, it works, at least it adds to the prompt.

But as soon as I try to copy text from the console to paste it outside, it doesn't work.

Ctrl C results in adding a new prompt line, Ctrl V has no effect, and the mouse does not perform any action in it.

Oh damn, sorry, I misunderstood what you told me, it's still weird that highlighting a text causes it to paste.

Well, problem solved!
I found my shortcuts too.

Thanks to you all :)
