Most linux sw lets me mark text with the mouse, and then click the
middle mouse button in some other window in order to paste it there.
No wading through "cut/paste menus", this is one of the strengths of
the X windowing system.
I have no problem pasting terminal text into LyX (or using special
paste to deal with line endings). But how do I go the other way?
Sometimes, I want to mark a paragraph or two in LyX, and paste it into
vim or something else running in an xterm. But that doesn't work,
nothing happens. If I have copy-pasted text within that terminal
before, the old text is pasted instead of what I marked in LyX.
Doesn't LyX put marked text on the clipboard?
I understand that there will be limitations - LyX supports formatting
and the terminal only handles text. Still, I have no problem pasting
from openoffice into xterm, vim or gvim.
Currently, the only way I can copy text out of LyX 2.2.2 is by
exporting an ascii file, or opening the .lyx file in a text editor.
Which is cumbersome for extracting a paragraph from a much longer
document.
Is this a bug? Or do I need to change some setup to get this
functionality?

Mark the text to be copied, ctr c, paste with ctr v should work
