Cutting and Pasting

There are often situations that require text to be pasted into the terminal.

Text copied from a web page using Ctrl+C won't paste with Ctrl+V as it does in other applications, because the terminal uses the Shift+Insert combination. Pasting can also be done using the mouse by right-clicking in the terminal and selecting Paste from the menu.

Text can also be copied by selecting (highlighting) the text to be copied. Clicking the middle button on the mouse (or both buttons simultaneously on a two-button mouse) in the terminal pastes the selected text.

Note

These actions may work differently in other terminal emulators than Konsole. Consult your terminal emulator's documentation for details.
