Hi, I am using the fedora-27-minimal and I got that very simple terminal there. Is there any way to make it more user friendly (like in debian?) like to copy and paste into it and from it?
Thank you!

The only terminal installed in the minimal template is xterm; by default
the fonts are ugly and it lacks decent default customizations (IMHO) but
with a little bit of tweaking you can make it look/behave like you want.

So you could try to customize xterm to your liking, or you could install
another (usually heavier) terminal in your template - eg. gnome-terminal.

If you stick to xterm, have a look at the following links for a sample
Xresources:

https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/user-setups/taradiddles/qubes-tweak/Xresources

and

https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/tree/master/docs/user-setups/taradiddles#fedora-minimal

(scroll to the "Fixes/tweaks").

Hope this helps

Ivan
