@_elena I suspect it comes from a legacy of Unix being a bunch of small terminal programs with a graphical interface, and concept of a Universal clipboard, only coming much later. But what it means in practice is I have used Linux on and off for 30 years and I still have no idea how to copy from Emacs and paste into another app (see, for eg emacswiki.org/emacs/CopyAndPas).

YMMV based on the specific desktop environment and apps you're using, but ...

In my experience, all cut'n'pasting in desktop GNU/Linux is

* Bash terminal: CTRL-SHIFT-C to copy and CTRL-SHIFT-V to paste

* Everything else: CTRL-c to copy, CTRL-v to paste

Can you tell me exactly which apps on which distro don't fit this pattern?
