With the Shift key held down, click the last character of the block of text you want to copy. Find the end of the block of text you want to copy.This usually takes about one second or less.

To the OP's specific question, if I want to copy everything in Terminal, I grab the thumb in the scroll bar and drag it to the end of the block I want to copy. You do not need to hold down anything - not a mouse button, a key, or anything else.

Next, scroll in whatever way is fastest for you to the end of the block you want to copy.

It can even be the first character or word all by itself.

First, highlight some text at the beginning of the block you want to copy.

It uses your mouse but does not require dragging the mouse to select the text. If you're using a mouse, single click the line number on the left or triple click in the line also do the trick.I know I'm late to the party, but here's what I do.

See Lists of default mouse and keyboard shortcuts for Notepad++ and some plugins In newer Notepad++ line copy has been changed to Ctrl+ Shift+ X, and a shortcut conflict warning has also been added, making life a bit easier If Ctrl+ Shift+ T doesn't work for you then it's because the shortcut has been assigned to 2 different features, causing a conflict as PryrtCJ answered below. Just select Settings > Shortcut mapper > Scintilla commands, select SCI_LINETRANSPOSE / SCI_LINEDUPLICATE / SCI_LINESJOIN. There are also other actions without default shortcuts like line transpose, line join, line duplicate. Line copy Ctrl+ Shift+ T (changed to Ctrl+ Shift+ X in newer Notepad++).If you just want to copy/cut/delete the lines, there are already shortcuts for you: However Ctrl+ A is used as select all in almost all text editors and textboxes, thus changing it could make things more confusing. You can also record this as a macro and then set a shortcut to that macro. If you need to select the line from the very beginning instead of the first indented character, press Home twice.
