KDE Konsole to select text and copy to clipboard

Solution 1:

Konsole can copy with ctrl + shift + c, and paste with ctrl + shift + v. My right click context menu on Konsole 2.7.4, KDE 4.7.4, Kubuntu 11.10, tells me these keyboard shortcuts.

Edit: There is actually a secondary buffer. Selected text is automatically added to this buffer, and middle click automatically pastes it. ctrl + shift + insert will also paste from this buffer. This can be changed under Settings > Configure Shortcuts > Paste Selection. ctrl + insert defaults to an alternate for normal copy, and shift + insert defaults to an alternate for normal paste.

Solution 2:

Settings > Manage Profiles > New Profile > Mouse > "Copy on select"
