It IS a little bizarre sometimes. :^/
You can add a copy keyboard shortcut to Konsole by going to
Settings-Configure Shortcuts...
I should have looked at that, I'd been playing with other things on the
settings menu
There's a Copy command in there which, by default, has no keyboard shortcut.
You could also do the slightly-tedious (but understandable since this is
a terminal app):
[Alt]
pause... (Session menu at the top will become selected)
[Right] (to move to the Edit menu)
[Down](to 'pull down' the Edit menu;
Copy is first, so will be selected)
[Enter] (to choose Edit)
Yes, I'd consider that a bit tedious :)
Text selection (highlighting) in Konsole and then middle-click pasting
SHOULD work, though. But it does seem there's a difference between
pasting the highlighted selection and pasting something you've Edit-Copy'd
Yep, I've discovered that. middle mousing is different than
copy/paste. I'm just getting used to this, coming from windows where
everything goes to the 1 clipboard
BTW, quick example... I can set [Alt]+[C] to be 'Copy' in my Konsole.
However, that makes it impossible (or difficult, at best) to send
an Alt-C sequence to a program I'm running _in_ the terminal.
Emacs, for example, seems to use Alt-C to capitalize words.
('foo foo foo' becomes 'Foo Foo Foo' if I hit Alt-C three times)
So be sure to pick some key sequence you don't need in the apps you'll be
running. (Like [Alt]+[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[C] or something wacky :^) )
Good luck!
Thanks Bill !
Jay

[vox-tech] Cut and paste
Hi, I sorta remember a thread like this, but couldn't find it in the archives. When I run konsole, when I highlight some text, I can middle click and paste it into another (or same) xterm, but I can't paste it into a GUI program like FireFox. If I want to cut and paste, I have to go to the menu-edit-copy then I can paste to FireFox. It's like there are 2 clipboards or something. Can't I do cut and paste without mousing? The menu-edit-copy doesn't have a keyboard shortcut. I'd rather just use simple xterm but I don't even have the menu option for copy.
