I didn’t immediately find any option, in the Gnome terminal a “select all” hotkey can be configured, but this method isn’t optimal even after running clear as the [user@localhost ~] gets also selected.

It is in the Fedora repo.
I use an xterm window on gnome, and can easily mark (hold left button and move mouse) what I want to copy with the mouse then a right-click brings up the menu to allow copy.

cat file | clipboard
