Can I copy / paste IPython from a laptop into other applications?

Question

I am new to Ipython laptop. I can cut and paste from other applications into my laptops, but how do I copy / paste code from a laptop into another application?

I am accessing a VNC Linux session through Chicken. I can cut / paste with a wild crash between OSX / Linux using the X / C / V command and / or the middle mouse button. I can also copy the code into an IPython laptop. I stopped on my way trying to get the code from IpyNotebook.

Using "Edit / Copy Cell" in Notebook does not work, as well as "Ctrl-m c".

I am running IPython 0.13.1

You need to select and copy the code using the usual Ctrl-C Ctrl-V. "Edit / Copy cell" is a specific action in javascript that does a bit more and that the browser security policy prevents us from communicating with the clipboard.
