Hi, 

Can xfce-terminal support cop and paste without mouse? For example, screen support this feature in the following way,
a) Press Ctrl+a+Esc will enter copy mode.
b) Space key will mark the beginning of the selection
c) Support array, w key like vim to select more texts
d) Space key again will mark the end of the selection and also copy the selected text to buffer

Thank you!

Hi,

vte (the terminal widget) would have to add support for keyboard selection first in order to make this possible.
They have already received feature requests for that, see, for example, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78291
