Copy and paste
You can copy and paste text in Terminal in a similar way to other applications. However, the keyboard shortcuts differ.
- Copy
Highlight the text portions you wish to copy, then right click on the text portion and select Copy. Alternatively, you can press Shift+Ctrl+C.
- Copy as HTML
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.
- Paste
Right click in the Terminal and select Paste. Alternatively, you can press Shift+Ctrl+V.
The standard keyboard shortcuts, such as Ctrl+C, cannot be used to copy and paste text.
