The general idea is pretty simple, I want to make a script for a certain task, I do it in the shell (any shell), and then I want to copy the commands I have used.

If I copy all the stuff in the window, then I have a lot of stuff to delete and to correct. (and is not easy to copy from shell)

Resume: I want to take all the things I wrote...

Is there an easy way to do this easy task?
