This is really weird. I can't copy anything from the terminal. The Ctrl+Shift+C command and Edit->Copy does nothing, no matter how much or little text I have selected. What ever was on my clipboard before the command is still there after.
Why can't I copy text from the Terminal?
Pasting into the terminal works just fine
you can, But you have to go into the settings.
Edit -> Keyboard shortcuts -> find copy and past commands -> Click to alter and enter new combo "ctrl+x, v, c, etc..."
In most Windows environments (not sure for others), you will have to highlight the text and then hit Enter to copy the text. You can then simply Ctrl + v (paste) it e everywhere. Maybe that works on your (specific?) Ubuntu terminal as well.
I do a >copy.txt to output my screen result.
Like aplay -l > text.txt give me a text.txt where I can open up in gedit by clicking on the file everything is formatted nicely. Here you can Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V just like Windows.
