Console / Xterm

Console

- Select the region to copy by pressing the mouse's left-button, then drag.
- Open your favorite text editor, then paste the selected text using the right button.
advanced tip: if you don't want to use a text editor, you can run cat > /tmp/outfile.txt, then paste the content using right-button, then press Ctrl-D (once).
