Re: [CentOS] Copy and paste in a terminal with the mouse

Your message is not informative enough. Please describe what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen. Something like this:

I started a gnome-terminal (window 1)
I started another gnome-terminal (window 2)
I selected window 2 for focus
I moved the mouse pointer over some text with the
    left button held down in window 2
the text was highlighted in window 2
I moved the mouse pointer to window 1 and selected
    focus
I pressed the center mouse wheel button
I expected a copy of the highlighted text in window 2
    to appear in window 1
the text did not appear

Then you can get some help. But at present, we have only a very vague feeling of what might be wrong.

Gnome terminal supports a copy and paste menu command no? Although I did try the traditional copy and middle click method with two gnome-terminals without problem.

Is your mouse configured correctly/working for copy and middle click pasting in other applications?
