How to copy-paste in screen iterm2, in a aws ec2 instance

Copy-pasting doesn't work inside screen on aws? Same here.

And I'm too tired of these companies putting sticks in my wheels. They obviously do it on purpose to decrease my (and your) productivity. Somehow, other cloud providers allow copy-pasting just fine, somehow.

Anyway, the trick is to click CMD-F (search) and then you can drag across screen text to copy it.

You may have to righ-click to copy rather than hit CMD+C, that was the case for me on one of the setups.
