This is a duplicate of Mac Terminal Copy on select like Putty but I would like a solution for Linux.

So basically, (how) can I set the selected text to be copied and pasted on right click?

gnome terminal does that by default, u just need to use Shift-Insert instead of right click to paste – Alex N. Oct 31 '11 at 5:15
Right, so then can we make it work on all gnome applications? As the default mouse behavior (paste needed also) – Sanjeev Satheesh Oct 31 '11 at 5:20
It's a per-application thing, some applications would need different settings, I'm sure. – Rob Oct 31 '11 at 5:21
So you want right click to act as "paste" command in all gnome applications? How would you invoke context menu then? – Alex N. Oct 31 '11 at 5:24

As already pointed out by Alex, it is , at least, not a good thing make right click act like paste command. On terminal, you can usually set this up in preferences. Alternatively you can use terminator instead of default terminal and get this feature along with a lot more.
