The Terminal

To start selecting text, double tap the word where you want the selection box to begin. This will highlight the word and allow you to drag your finger or tap anywhere to expand the selection area. Dragging your finger to the boundaries of the screen will scroll the screen in the desired direction.

By default, the selection is by word boundaries to assist in copying only the text you are interested in.

To stop selecting text, simply double tap anywhere away from the selected text boundary.

To copy text, simply tap the "copy" element centered in the selected text area.

To paste text, simply double tap anywhere to expose the cut/paste menu, and then tap "paste". This will inject available characters from the clipboard into the terminal.
