How do I select all text from a file with nano editor in Linux?

Moebuntu · Oct 1, 2016

I open a file in Centos nano editor from the command line and I want to copy all the content of that file so I can paste it in an another application outside the shell or delete. How can I do that?

Cursor at the beginning of a file
Ctrl + 6 to set a mark
Alt + Shift + T to cut to the end of the file
Ctrl + O to save in Nano.

You can use your mouse to select text if your file content is not too big.

In Nano
Alt T will delete all content in a file
Ctrl K will delete the current line at your cursor.
