For future reference, when you highlight the text in a terminal, it's
copied to the clipboard immediately - no need to press and Control
keystroke combinations. To paste it, click the middle mouse button,
although many apps will also respond to CTRL-V too, if that's
ingrained in you.

Hit the enter key or press the backspace key a few times. There's a
chance you've typed a character (or several) into the output and that
the shell has stopped any further output because it thinks you're
about to give it some more text to execute when the current command
ends.

If you've inadvertently hit CTRL-S (pause output) you'll need to hit
CTRL-Q (resume output) so it's worth hitting CTRL-Q too, just in case.
