Context menu copy and paste operations are disabled in the Shell. Copy and paste shortcuts for Mac are Command+c and Command+v. For most operating systems, use Ctrl+Insert to copy and Shift+Insert to paste. ????????

This question comes up repeatedly, and the best answer is always that if you're doing enough that copy/paste makes any sense, you shouldn't be using the "shell" through the web GUI anyway. Just don't. SSH to the server and do it from there.

But what does this have to do with plugins, particularly?

He's attempting to install missing PHP modules in his Nextcloud jail. I recommended using iocage console.

But @danb35 is right. Use putty.exe or the Mac Terminal.app and ssh.

I can really vouch for mobaXterm when using Win. It has an integrated sftp client which comes in real handy sometimes.
