[linux] Copy text from nano editor to shell

Relatively straightforward solution:

  1. From the first character you want to copy, hold Shift down and go all the way to the end.

  2. Press Ctrl+K, which cuts the text from the file.

  3. Press Ctrl+X, and then N to not save any changes.

  4. Paste the cut text anywhere you want.

Alternatively, if your text fits into the screen, you can simply use mouse to select and it automatically copies it to clipboard.
