I disagree. Both bugs are looking for a, intuitive method to copy from the embedded terminal window.
I don't image using CTRL+C will ever be implemented because that is a standard practice for killing something running in a terminal, which is exactly what is happening and should happen. A specific Wishlist for that would probably be invalidated on the spot.

I don't think a keyboard shortcut is exactly what is needed since the method should be easily recognizable, I think it should be either a button or a mouse function, like right click -> copy.

If you strongly disagree you can unmark the duplicate, otherwise I think we are just creating extra work for developers with different bugs requesting essentially the same thing. Perhaps we should adjust the description of the primary bug to reflect exactly what it is we want done.
