I used to be able to be able to do the following to copy text from
xterm in Fedora and Debian VMs:
1. Select/highlight the desired text, thereby inserting it into the
PRIMARY buffer.
2. Press <Ctrl + middle mouse button> in order to bring up a menu (I
think it was the "VT Options" menu).
3. In this menu, select the option to copy text from the PRIMARY
buffer to that VM's local clipboard.
4. Press <Ctrl + Shift + C> to copy text to the Qubes inter-VM
clipboard and proceed as usual.
However, some time ago, step 2 suddenly stopped working, and I have
no idea why. Pressing <Ctrl + middle mouse button> in xterm now does
nothing, as far as I can tell. I've checked my trackpad/mouse
settings, and everything seems fine and unchanged. I've tried
pressing the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously instead, but
nothing.
I know that I can probably create custom xterm settings that will
allow me to copy text, but I'd still like to know whether there's a
way to do it by default for cases in which the VM is uncustomized.
Does anyone know if there is such a way?
I never used that, but here for the fedora-32 template it works.
I think you can override bindings inside the app via X resources, but
my suspect is that the window manager "captures" the mouse or key
event, so it does not arrive at the terminal any more.
I'm confused. You say it's working in the Fedora 32 template for you,
yet you also say the key event is captured, so it's not arriving at the
terminal anymore. How can it be working for you if the key event is
being captured by the window manager?
You missed something: I' not the one who had the problem; I'm one who
tried to help / explain.
