Control+Middle mouse clic -> Select to Clipboard. Then, you can you QubesOS clipboard shortcut (Control+Shift+C).

What is 'f31-test-vm'? You only spoke about f31-min-test-vm.

The middle click simply the wheel click but indeed, with only left and right buttons it's both at the same time. Here when hold Control in addition to left and right mouse button (keep holding) on xterm, it makes appearing a little menu where the selection is made by unholding mouse buttons. On this little menu you would see the 'Select to Clipboard' option.

To enable simulating middle clicks that way, I had to follow
<https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/9973/configuring-mouse-for-rightleft-button-simulating-middle-click-for-copy-paste>.
Alternatively, you should be able to add `XTerm.vt100.selectToClipboard: 1`
to `~/.Xresources` and run `xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources` to enable the
Select to Clipboard feature by default.
