On my Xubuntu system, gpm is running [1], which allows left clicking and
dragging on the console to select text, while right clicking pastes the
text that was selected into the current console.

  [1] /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t exps2

If mouse or touchpad is not your cup of tea, then you could do what I
did when I first started using nano: Alt+A, move cursor, ^O aaa <Enter>,
then switch to the other nano and do ^R aaa <Enter>.  But that tended to
litter my system with aaa and bbb files.
