Copy-pasting on the Linux command line

On Mac OS X, since the Apple key is used for copying instead of Ctrl, copy-pasting works within the Terminal. On Linux, Ctrl-c sends an interrupt signal.

Instead, use Ctrl-Shift-c to copy within a terminal, and Ctrl-Shift-v to paste. Other similar commands are:

  • Ctrl-Shift-t : Create a new tab
  • Ctrl-Shift-w : Close the tab
  • Ctrl-Shift-q : Close the entire window, tabs and all
  • Ctrl-Shift-n : Create a new window
