    Have you tried pressing shift + insert?

    Ctrl-Shift-C to copy and Ctrl-Shift-V to paste.

    If you are using xterm (weird!) you can copy and paste with your mouse. Just select the text and it will be copied. For pasting, press the right mouse button.

    If you are using Terminal (xfce default), do like BlackLagoon says.

    noob answer: technically no, but they do the same thing. Much like using Notepad or Wordpad to edit a text file.
