Many GUI applications (but not all) also support the Mac/MS-Windows-style "copy-paste": Select the text. Use the menu item "edit"-"copy" (either from the pull-down menu, or a local menu activated with the <RightMouseButton>). Switch to the location where to copy to. Use the menu item "edit"-"paste". This works fine for applications which use the same toolkit (e.g. KDE or GNOME) but does not always work across toolkits (e.g., from a GNOME application to the KDE application).

As a keyboard shortcut for the last method, I can use <Ctrl><c> for copying the highlighted text and <Ctrl><v> for pasting. Text can be highlighted without mouse using <Ctrl><Shift><RightArrow>.

but seems i'm still having GDM problems
that make my X Server cant started yet

now still using Command Line Interface (CLI)

and so the mouse cant be used.
and there's no way to copy n paste is it ?

OMG

Hi gumuruhsspj, The second method should work fine. I don't use the <Ctrl> key though, just the <Shift> and <Right Arrow> keys to select text.
Good luck. ;-)

but here...
when it's starting Linux
firstly...
appeared without any device detected properly
except the keyboard...

so then when CLI appeared
there's no Highlighting...even shift with Arrow key...

can't do that...here.

Can you highlight with <Ctrl><Shift><RightArrow>?
Good luck. ;-)
