They can be made to store the text to an external buffer though. I've found that highlighting in Emacs and using C-w to remove (and C-_ to restore) will make the "copied" text pastable with Ctrl-V in chromium and firefox, and probably other GUI applications, and with Shift-Ctrl-V on guake terminals. Conversely, using Shift-Ctrl-C on guake and Ctrl-C with my browsers will let me C-y that into Emacs. # BTW, marking with C-@ in Emacs and moving the cursor can also be used # to "highlight". > xterm doesn't have CTRL-C because that shortcut can potentially be used > by the terminal itself. (i.e. will kill the running process.) Understandable and I guess that's why guake uses Shift+Ctrl-C.
