i use uxrvt ( for those who dont know, its terminal emulator based on xterm).

i know its easy to copy/paste stuff from terminal to itself is a trivial thing. it can be done by mouse left click to select and middle click to paste.

but in my case i need to copy text from terminal to another application, viz on google chromium. how can i do that. is it even possible? anyone?

Most Linux applications allow middle mouse button to paste. I know that chromium does. Your other alternative is to right-click on the terminal for a context menu. uxrvt might be so old that it doesn't support traditional copy/paste. And they are stored in different buffers, which is handy.

  • ohh thanks! it works.. :) my reason to chose uxrvt is its quite light weight w/o many dependencies. – Idlecool Jan 13 '11 at 15:15
