It did seem likely you would know, but if I can, I’d prefer giving someone redundant knowledge over hoarding information they could use.
I can definitely relate to accidentally ending a process, especially back when I used PuTTY. Very frustrating.
I use vim, but I’ve never had trouble copying text out of it the same way I would out of any other terminal process. Does nano introduce special challenges?
If you highlight text in nano using your keyboard I think it uses nanos built-in highlighting and doesn’t allow copying to the clipboard. It has it’s own built in cut and paste system, and not on the keys you would expect.
If you highlight the text with your mouse it uses the terminals highlighting and copying to your clipboard works!
Just lot’s of inconsistency is what I’m saying, similar to your Firefox experience!
Oh yeah - if you’re using your keyboard, it’s a different prospect. In vim, I would use the yank functionality, but that doesn’t travel between windows. I wouldn’t know how to do that without the mouse.
I’m afraid I can’t help you with nano, either, but good luck in your search!
