CTRL+SHIFT+C/V not working in Terminal





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I found today that my copy/paste commands don't work in the terminal. I've tried every solution I could find with a bit of googling, but nothing seems to help.



"Right click"->"paste" will paste fine into a terminal, but "right click"->"copy" doesn't seem to copy from the terminal.



Any suggestions?

          I had this problem. Turned out that ctrl+shift was taken by gnome-tweaks to change keyboard layouts.
          If this is the case with you, go to gnome-tweaks (just type it in the terminal), go to Keyboard & Mouse -> Additional Layout Options -> Switching to another layout.
          Ctrl+shift will be checked. Just uncheck it and it should fix the problem.
