I want to know how to copy-paste in console. For example, selecting something in irssi, switching terminal, pasting to lynx. GPM and it's third button doesn't hit, because copypastes only in or between terminals. And last: no Xs, please, only console.

To copy/paste in terminal use "ctrl + shift (c/v)"

Paste in terminal

SHIFT + Insert

> Paste in terminal
SHIFT + Insert
Which button is INSERT? The one marked "help" just above "forward delete"? If so, it doesn't work (I'm not inside X's terminal, where it of course works.)

Do you mean [control]+[shift]+[c] together? No, doesn't work. Just deselects selection or prints ^C in shell prompt. [control]+[shift]+[v] doesn't work at all.

IF you have a middle button on your mouse - highlight then use middle button to paste, that works in addition to any other copy/paste
