I'm not sure of the behavior under windows as I don't use it for desktop anymore either. But under Linux, the cut/paste works fine from within SyncTERM. I am unable however to copy from SyncTERM and paste into say Google Chrome. Would be useful for when trying to follow a link someone posted or something you wanted to save in a txt file for reference later. And/or have http and https recogonized and create a url link that you could click on to automatically open in a new tab of your browser.
Not sure if this would be considered a bug and/or feature request as I'm not sure if the intention of the copy/paste just for within SyncTERM or not.

In Linux and at least FreeBSD (not sure about OS X), there are (at least) 2 differet copy/paste buffers. Try middle-clicking the mouse to paste the SyncTERM selected text into another application (e.g. Chrome).

Do you have a clip board installed? I use clipit under Lubuntu. Works very well. I don't know what Linux distro you use so you'll need to look that up.

I don't have a middle mouse button on my laptop, so I tried the "click both left and right at the same time" that sometimes works for a middle click but that didn't work with SyncTERM. I then grabbed my usb mouse from my desktop that does have a middle button, which does not work either. I tried selecting, holding left and then clicking right also. I'm under Linux Mint 19.2 using Cinnamon 4.2.4. I can try under CentOS 8 w/GNOME tomorrow.

To copy from SyncTERM, you only need to select the text with the left mouse button. Once it's in the selection buffer, it's up to your OS or Window manager (not SyncTERM) as to how you paste that into another application. On Ubuntu Linux desktop, it's right-click or maybe it's middle-click, I don't rember.
You might also get differ copy behavior from SyncTERM depending on what modes you run it in (the '-i' option).
clipboard manager so going with your recommendation, I installed clipit, which doesn't work for me either. What specifically are you clicking from

Yes, I was just trying differnent things. left mouse selection is
only able to paste back into SyncTERM itself. After installing
the clipboard manager clipit, whatever I'm selecting in SyncTERM
does not seem to make it to the buffer. All other programs do,
even from my Mushclient running from wine does, just not
SyncTERM. From my understanding there's a PRIMARY and SECONDARY
selection. I could be wrong but I believe secondary is program
specific (which works) and primary has a selection owner that
each program has access to.
SyncTERM can read the primary selection, because whatever I copy
from another program can be pasted into SyncTERM. So whatever I'm selecting in SyncTERM doesn't seem to be stored primary on either
of my OS's. I don't know if Xorg handles this part as the primary selection owner or not.

Normally run without the -i option and just go auto but I've
tried all options listed with the same result. Being that I've
tried this under two seperate newer Linux OS's with the same
results is there anyone that might be able to install one of
these to see if they are getting the same results?

If one does not have a middle button, is a middle click both buttons at once?

I'm running with Slackware Linux v14.2, using the XFCE desktop
environment. I can left-click/drag to highlight text in Syncterm
(v1.1b) and then paste into another application by clicking my
middle mouse button. This is the same behavior as I see in any
other application.
