In theory, you should be able to just paste into the VM and copy out
of the VM. From the typical command line shell/window, you might need
to right-click after selecting the text and selecting copy. Or you can
middle-button click to select. This differs from previous Linux/X11
environments where highlighting=auto-copy.

^_^;; There are plenty of Linux ML's, but you really need to look
around. Your best friend is going to be Google. :)

Looking at the website for BBedit, I would have to say the closest
would be Eclipse. It is available in Fedora Core 6(FC6). It's an IDE
that is extensible via plugins and does markup/etc as BBedit does.

Good luck and enjoy!
