currently using xterm and pico
i searched and found that there are loads of them available but i m missing a very important feature i.e. copy-paste. i frequently use this feature and then i have to start gnome-terminal or gedit but i don't want to use them.
i want to use something really light like xterm and pico but with this feature. any ideas?
Try nano (http://www.nano-editor.org), it lets you copy&paste.

Pico does do its own copying and pasting. CTRL-K to cut a line and CTRL-U to paste it. If you want to copy and not cut then simply paste it as soon as it gets cut and you can also paste it somewhere else. You can do any number of consecutive lines at once as long as you don't move the cursor between CTRL-K's. I'm sure there are other useful commands in pico but those are the only ones I use frequently.

I was going to post that but it won't work with a terminal emulator.

The highlite and middle click method works for me in Putty under Windows, and konsole, gnome-terminal, and xterm under many linux distros for a looooong time. Probably works well in local console as well if you have GPM setup.

actually i use wget a lot and at that time i missed the paste feature that gnome-terminal has. thanx for that tip. no more bulky things for me.
