How do I copy some text from within conkeror into my clipboard?

Question

conkeror i'v started using it and its great! i cant find however how do i copy some text from within the browser into my clipboard?

Answer 1

Try ctrl-shift-c instead of ctr-c. The same change applies to pasting and cutting.

Answer 2

In conkeror, the keyboard only method is first to i-Search for the text you want to copy. Once you see the light grey highlight over the first part of what you'd like to select, press Return. You may then use the following keybindings to select text:

C-B -- one char back C-F -- one char forward M-B -- one word back M-F -- one word forward

C-P -- back one line C-N -- forward one line S-down -- forward one line

Notice that those are shifted characters, so it's really C-S-b etc.

Use M-w to copy the text to the clipboard. Use C-h b to see the full list of bindings. Try searching for "Extend selection."

The key is to highlight the first component of your desired selection using i-Search.
