Is it possible to copy text from a file, opened with nano, to the shell?
I have a text file, and I want to copy several lines to the console, but I cannot find a keyboard shortcut to copy the text.

If you have a file open in nano in a putty window, you will have to turn off mouse support (Alt-M will toggle). After that, you can select text in nano with the left mouse drag. Then left-click on the selected text to copy it to the windows clipboard. Anywhere you can now paste that clipboard text with a right-click.
Nano to Shell:
1. Using mouse to mark the text.
2. Right-Click the mouse in the Shell.
Within Nano:
1. CTRL+6 (or CTRL+Shift+6 or hold Shift and move cursor) for Mark Set and mark what you want (the end could do some extra help).
2. ALT+6 for copying the marked text.
3. CTRL+u at the place you want to paste.
or
1. CTRL+6 (or CTRL+Shift+6 or hold Shift and move cursor) for Mark Set and mark what you want (the end could do some extra help).
2. CTRL+k for cutting what you want to copy
3. CTRL+u for pasting what you have just cut because you just want to copy.
4. CTRL+u at the place you want to paste.
