    thanks cristi_28 and meknb - i did and thank you for saying so it kept me trying those ones again - and this is weird what was happening is that i was using Ctrl+A to select all text and then Ctrl+C all the text from inside the Editor but when i tried to Shift+Insert it into a terminal it did nothing, yet i was still able to Ctrl+V it back into the Editor - it turns out that if i do anything but Ctrl+A when selecting my text i get to use Shift+Insert to paste it into a terminal just fine! So basically i have to just avoid Ctrl+A when selecting text in the Editor. Thank you for your kind and informative responses.

    If you want to use the clipboard "gui apps use the clipboard" you will have to try a different terminal aterm doesn't support clipboard
