How do you copy and paste inside the terminal?

I've tried with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V; neither works, they just insert ^C or ^V into the prompt. What am I doing wrong?

In order to copy and paste in the terminal, you need to include the SHIFT key. For example:

Regular Ctrl+C won't work because the terminal interprets this as cancelling/interrupting an operation.
