I'm using Ubuntu, I'm just a total noob that thought since Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V didn't work that all hope was lost. Clearly I was wrong.

Alternatively, I believe you could right-click the terminal to make copypasta via the context menu.

Or use control+shift+c and control+shift+v in many terminal emulators.

Edit: Seems I overlooked this being mentioned above. Oops.

Indeed you can.
