I want to make gnome-terminal behave in such a way that when the end user selects a region on the terminal (with a mouse or mouse key), it gets automatically copied into the clipboard. Is it possible at all? If so, how?
Use Ctrl+Insert or Ctrl+Shift+C for copying and Shift+Insert or Ctrl+Shift+V for pasting text in the terminal in Ubuntu. Right click and selecting the copy/paste option from the context menu is also an option.
Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V If you highlight text in the terminal window with your mouse and hit Ctrl+Shift+C you'll copy that text into a clipboard buffer. You can use Ctrl+Shift+V to paste the copied text into the same terminal window, or into another terminal window.
Alternatively, you can press Shift + Ctrl + C . Highlight the text portions you wish to copy with color and font attributes, then right click on the text portion and select Copy as HTML. Right click in the Terminal and select Paste.
First highlight the text you wish to copy. Then, press right mouse button and select Copy . Once ready, right-click anywhere on the terminal window and select Paste to paste the previously copied text.
it's possible.
sudo apt-get install parcellite
then in the settings check "use primary" and "synchronize clipboards". it works.
It should be in the X11 clipboard. (Not the same as the GTK clipboard). Press middle-click to paste.
