In order to install something usually have to run some commands. In order to make it quicker, could I highlight some command text on the internet I want to run in terminal, then press a keyboard shortcut and run it?

A simple sequence can do this:

Ctrl+C (Copy to clipboard)

Ctrl+Alt+T (Open a terminal)

Ctrl+Shift+V (Paste from clipboard)

If you're confident in your highlighting abilities, you could probably shorten that to:

Ctrl+Alt+T (Open a terminal)

Shift+Insert (Paste from selection clipboard)

But is there one shortcut that does all this? No, not by default.
