Selecting Text (Copy/Paste) in Elinks

It's been harsh for me to find how I select text to Copy/Paste in elinks. There isn't many explanations about that. Finally, I found it!


Elinks supports text selection. Use the Shift key when selecting.

Another common question refers to be able to select text using only keyboard in elinks? The answer is that, elinks does not handle that, it depends on the terminal emulator you're using, which in most cases does not support it.You have to use the mouse (gdm if you’re not running X)
