Hi there

I would like to copy some command which are in a text file from my editor (nano) to the console

I do not have a DE, and of course CTRL+K & CTRL+U does not work tongue

Thank you wink

It depends on the terminal you use nano in, but you could try selecting the text in nano, hitting shift-delete and then middle clicking in the console...

Does selecting the text and pasting with the middle mouse button work?

I wonder if it would work with gpm installed?
