# Copy and paste

You can copy and paste text in Terminal in a similar way to other applications. However, the keyboard shortcuts differ.

# Copy

Highlight the text portions you wish to copy, then select Edit Copy. Alternatively, you can press Shift Ctrl C.

# Copy as HTML

Highlight the text portions you wish to copy with color and font attributes, then select Edit Copy as HTML.

# Paste

Right click in the Terminal and select Paste. Alternatively, you can press Shift Ctrl V.

The standard keyboard shortcuts, such as Ctrl C, cannot be used to copy and paste text.
