Oh? Have you tried running synaptic, getting the list of packages to install / update, right clicking on the package name and selecting properties? That has a package name that I can select with the mouse and copy the name to the clipboard Then on your terminal run 'sudo apt install <right click to paste the name in>' and have apt install the package. > And at 90 yo, I have a hellofatime remembering 40+ character > command lines. Copy/paste is a requirement for me also. If your terminal program doesn't do what you want, take a look at the current version of xfce4-terminal - that has most of what I was looking for.
