Problem

I can't copy or paste to or from the system clipboard within the Terminal. Neither / nor menus work. Instead, Terminal seems to be using it's own buffer for copy/paste operations. I am able to access the system clipboard only using and . Any ideas?

Fix for: Can't copy/paste to/from system clipboard in Terminal on Mac

Low Risk

Try the right click menu. I know that I can paste with right click but never tried to copy sth. Like you said, shortcuts don't work unfortunately
