## Using cut and paste in the Terminal window
## Selecting and Copying Text in Windows Terminal
### With PowerShell
As in ConHost, a selection can be made by left-clicking and dragging the mouse across the terminal. This is a line selection by default, meaning that the selection will wrap to the end of the line and the beginning of the next one. You can select in block mode by holding down the <kbd>Alt</kbd> key when starting a selection.
* Copy - Select the text with mouse (default left button), then right click with mouse
* Paste - by default use `<ctrl>+v`>, or right click with mouse
To copy the text to your clipboard, you can right-click the terminal when a selection is active. As of [#1224](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/1224) (first available in Windows Terminal v0.4), the Windows Terminal now supports HTML copy. The HTML is automatically copied to your clipboard along with the regular text in any copy operation.
### With Bash
If there is not an active selection, a right-click will paste the text content from your clipboard to the terminal.
* Copy - Select the text with mouse (default left button), then right click with mouse
* Paste - Right click with mouse
Copy and paste operations can also be keybound. For more information on how to bind keys, see [Using Json Settings](UsingJsonSettings.md#adding-copy-and-paste-keybindings).
> 👉 **Note**: If you have the `copyOnSelect` global setting enabled, a selection will persist and immediately copy the selected text to your clipboard. Right-clicking will always paste your clipboard data.
