Many applications use this method: . click in the text you want to capture, . press Ctrl-A to select all the text, . press Ctrl-C to copy the selected text, . paste the text in some way: . you might be able to paste into an editor with Shift-Insert, . ditto with Ctrl-V, . ditto with middle mouse button, . ditto if right mouse button yields a little selection menu. Not using Konsole, I know nothing about this selection method: https://docs.kde.org/trunk_kf6/en/konsole/konsole/selection.html nor where or how to paste such a selection. Cheers, David.
