I would just use GNU/Screen for this.

Copy and Paste
To switch to copy mode, use:
ctrl+a [: Enables copy mode.
Now you can move the cursor around. To start highlighting text, press 
space or enter. Once you're done with highlighting, press space or enter 
again. This will copy highlighted text to a buffer. To paste it, use:
ctrl+a ]: Pastes buffer.

You may also paste from or to a file, to do so:
ctrl+a <: Reads paste buffer from a file.
ctrl+a >: Writes paste buffer into a file.
