Hi, excuse me for this basic question, but could anyone tell me how can I copy text from this console? I tried `ctrl + shift + c`, `ctrl + c`, `right click` and first two kill the process and the latter does nothing.

<@U03EF6JH61F> Some linux terminals have automatic copy of the selected text and use the middle mouse button for paste. Other times, you can find a right mouse pop up like Larry mentioned. Using emulators or Chrome Remote Desktop can add some extra steps if you’re trying to get to paste into pc documents.

just use the middle button to paste.
Left button Click and drag --&gt; select and copy
middle button click --&gt; paste

If you add this line in your `~/.Xresources`:
`XTerm*selectToClipboard:true`
the next time you log into the system (or after executing `xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources`) xterm selection (explained above) will directly go into the clipboard in addition to the cut buffer, so in other "desktop" applications you can just do `ctrl-v` to paste.

Very helpful, I didn't know about the automatic copy, thanks <@U017X0NM2E7>, thanks <@U01819B63HP>. Stefan regarding the last instruction you mentioned, I don't have that hidden `.Xresources` file, do I have to create it and what kind of permissions should it have?

<@U03EF6JH61F> you can create if it is not existing, it just need user read permissions, so defaults are ok usually.
