    If you are running the X Window System, you can use the xclip utility.

    To install: sudo apt-get install xclip

    To copy: xclip id_rsa.pub

    To copy to clipboard: xclip -o | xclip -sel clip

    To paste: xclip -o -sel clip > file.txt

    Read the README file in the xclip source for more on how to use it.
