Gnome Terminal – Click the hamburger menu and click “Preferences.” Navigate to “Shortcuts” and scroll to “Edit.” The options for “Copy” and “Paste” will appear there ready to be configured.These are instructions for the most popular terminals: Look for options that allow you to customize keyboard shortcuts. If for some reason these keyboard shortcuts don’t work, the terminal might not be properly configured for it. For example, you can copy a command from a web page in your browser and use the Ctrl + Shift + V shortcut to paste it in the terminal. The Paste shortcut also applies when you copy a section of text from a Word document (or any other application) and want to paste it in the terminal. To paste it where the cursor is, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + V. If you just want to copy a piece of text in the terminal, all you need to do is highlight it with your mouse, then press Ctrl + Shift + C to copy.
