I want to be able to select certain text with mouse to copy and paste it to the commandline. The "select" and "paste from clipboard/primary selection" part works, but I am unable to copy the selection to the clipboard (verified with xsel
).
So far I have tried:
- selection (I think it had been working some time ago),
- Ctrl+Shift+C
- RMB/Copy
- Edit/Copy
I use Ubuntu server 14.04.4 and xfce4-terminal 0.6.3
MMB, Shift-Insert and Ctrl+Shift+V works when I populate the clipboard from elsewhere.
The answers to the 4 years old question Why can't I copy text from the Ubuntu Terminal? were not helpful.
