1) Right mouse button on the link to open a command shell
2) select the tab Options
3) in the box Edit Options, check the Rapid Edit Mode
4) click OK

Now you can use the left mouse button to highlight a portion of the shell
and the right button to paste it.

Idle or (better) iPython. The copy/paste 'problem' is solved above.
