MATE Terminal copy and paste

[flyingscorpio]

Hi all,

I just opened my account on this forum and this is my first post, so I hope I am writing in the right section, and that this thread hasn't been treated before already. Anyway I haven't found it!

Usually I copy and paste between Terminal and other windows with the regular CTRL+SHIFT+C / CTRL+SHIFT+V but that doesn't work on the default MATE Terminal on my PBP.
I've checked the Keyboard Shortcuts within the Terminal menu, and it indeed has the shortcuts I am used to.

I've seen an issue raised on the MATE Terminal repo: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-ter...issues/239
But it is closed now and the fix doesn't seem to work with me.

So my question is, is this a known issue with the PBP or with MATE Terminal itself (I used xfce and Gnome before)? Does anyone have a work around?

Copy and Paste works within the Terminal itself, but not from another program, so I thought it should be something with different clipboard access...

Anyway, got my PBP yesterday, am even more happy with it than I expected. I'm happy to become part of the community!

I think you need to install xclip using synaptic package manager or apt

sudo apt install xclip -y

Yes, thought of that, hasn't changed anything. For now my solution is to just use the xfce4 terminal, which I don't mind.

I was having the same issues with copy/paste not working, installing xclip fixed it for me.

The only other thing i can think of is I had fixed the keymaps as well, not sure of that was before of after fixing the copy/paste issue.

Probably totally unrelated, but that's all I can think that maybe different.
