Yes. Use Mouse-1 (typically the left-hand mouse button) to swipe the
text you want to copy from the xterm. Go to the recipient program, and
use Mouse-2 (typically the middle button on the mouse) to paste.

Note that this is very temporary storage. It will not put the text in
the clipboard, nor will a clipboard stack program like clipman see it.

Ctl-c, ctl-v, etc. (CUA shortcuts) are Microsoft/IBM isms and not native
to Unix or Linux, so older programs like xterm may or may not support
them.
