title: Selecting text in terminal without using the mouse
body: <p>If I'm working in a terminal window in Linux, is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to select output displayed on previous lines? If I select something with the mouse I can copy using <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>, but is there a way to select without using the mouse at all.  I'm using either Gnome terminal or KDE konsole in Ubuntu desktop.  </p>
  
  <p>For example I often need to copy results from a mysql query and then google them.</p>
