Subject: Re: md5sum
To copy from the terminal depends on the teminal. I am assuming the
Ctrl-Alt-T is the Ubuntu Unity shortcut for the Gnome Terminal (I use
Ubuntu but refuse to use Unity, I hate it and use Gnome Shell instead).

To copy text, you have two choices:

1. Highlight the text with your mouse, then activate the window you are
trying to copy into and wheel click (use your mouse scroll wheel like a
button)

2. Highlight the text with your mouse, and use Edit->Copy and then paste
into the program you want to copy it into.

The other option is to run your command appended with a
"&>/tmp/output.txt" (sans the quotes) to send all output to a temp file,
then you can open it in gedit, or any other program you like.
