I use urxvt instead of xterm, but I guess you can achieve something similar or at least close enough. I have key bindings on vim to copy to and paste from the clipboard selection. Yes, I know there are special registers for this, but I can't hammer them inside my dumb head, so I have this in my vimrc: " copy and paste from system easily nnoremap cp "+p nnoremap cP "+P xnoremap cy "+y On tmux, every copy operation goes to clipboard selection too (I use vim like keys for that): # Vi copypaste mode set-window-option -g mode-keys vi bind-key -T copy-mode-vi v send-keys -X begin-selection bind-key -T copy-mode-vi y send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "xclip -selection clipboard" On the terminal itself, I use Ctrl+Alt+c (or v) for copy (or paste). In the end I end up only using the paste function, as I'm almost always on a tmux session and prefer to copy that way. For this to work one used to have to configure some perl extension. Not sure if that's the case anymore, because I cannot see that config on my .Xresources In any case, that's of little use to you if you use a different terminal emulator. On the browser Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v copy and paste from the clipboard selection.
