Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hi, i mainly write that bugreport for a friend that just tries out kde 4.2.

It seems like in gnome it is possible to copy paste text from a console, when the text is selected. This is handled the following way.

when there is text selected, CTRL+C is a normal copy operation.
If no text is selected, ctrl+c is the normal abort command.

i think that solution isn't too bad.

Copy and paste is done using Ctrl+Shift+C or via Edit -> Copy.  We can't use Ctrl+C because that command is used to quit the program currently running in the terminal.
