On my machine (Lucid, Gnome Terminal), the Edit Menu works but the keyboard shortcuts do not. Suspect it has something to do with profiles. My normal workflow is to "scoop" the text with the mouse and paste with the middle mouse button. <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 7, 2010 at 7:06 AM, arun j <<a href="mailto:aj7700@gmail.com">aj7700@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello, Is there any way to run commands of other programs from the terminal? opened a doc file from the terminal using ><a href="http://openoffice.org" target="_blank">openoffice.org</a> filename.doc is there any way to execute SELECT ALL[ctrl + a] or COPY [ctrl + c] from the terminal???
