Copy to and paste from the clipboard

What is the current expected way to copy to and paste from the clipboard, in say the terminal or chatty? A long press on a selection doesn't do anything. In the terminal, Ctrl + C/V and Ctrl + Shift + C/V don't do anything. The only way I've found to copy is to use the terminal keyboard, press >_, press menu, and press copy.

Is there a package or something that helps with the clipboard (which can perhaps be installed by default)?

In the terminal, a Long press will create a popup with paste and select all. In chatty, I use the CTRL + V on the keyboard. (I created a custom layout[1] to have access to CTRL on the letter pad)

Right, so is the expected methods as follows?

• Terminal
  • Copying: >_ -> menu -> copy
  • Pasting: Long press or >_ -> menu -> paste
• Chatty
  • Copying: >_ -> menu -> copy
  • Pasting: Ctrl + V or >_ -> menu -> paste

It seems like the current most uniform way is to use copy and paste from >_ -> menu in the terminal keyboard.

A more intuitive method would be the ability to copy a selection from long press, and paste from long press. (Or for the terminal, Ctrl + Shfit + C/V.)
