Hi Gottfried,
I am not quite sure, what you are asking, but thought maybe some info would
help.
I think the default for copy pasting in Emacs is:
* Copy selected text: M-w (that is "Meta w", where "Meta" usually is the "Alt"
key)
* Paste clipboard: C-y (that is "Control y", referring to the Ctrl/Strg key, I
think it is different on a Mac)
How to copy from a terminal _inside_ of Emacs depends on what shell you are
using inside Emacs. There are multiple. I think by default you have: Eshell, M-x
shell, and Ansi-Term, out of which Ansi-Term is the most difficult to use, in my
opinion, but can do things like rendering htop for example. Ncurses programs.
You can also add more to Emacs of course ... like vterm for example. But that is
besides the point. You will need to use the correct key combo depending on the
shell you are using inside Emacs. For a long time I went with M-x shell. Eshell
requires a bit more learning about Emacs, but can be customized well.
Anyway, hope I made it a bit clearer at least. Feel free to ask more questions.
Best regards,
Zelphir

Hi Felix,
As I was a normal Linux user.
I used only the basics.
I new nothing about Emacs, VIM ...
After installing GNU Guix SD approx 3 years ago
the term "Emacs" came up and
all the Guixers, who wrote to me
encouraged me to learn Emacs,
nobody said something about VIM.
That´s why I started to learn Emacs
but it goes slowly, because I am not sitting the whole day before the
laptop.
When time allows, I am learning Emacs
but it is a new world for me
and many overwhelming and new things come up.
So I am now busy with Emacs and have enough to do,
no time for VIM
(even though I guess, but I don´t know,
that the dutch developer of VIM may be? has more keybindings developed
similar to the German language,
because Dutch is a lets say "German dialect",
and may be? he developed a system nearer to the German language,
which would be easier to understand for German speaking people.
Emacs bases on "American English" and so
I have to learn two new things: English thinking with English keyboard
and Emacs on top of it.
Some keybindings in Emacs are difficult for a German keyboard
e.g. C-/ I always use C-_ instead to "undo" something.
thanks
Gottfried
