Follow-up Comment #7, bug #54056 (project octave):

Readline supports the concept of a "mark", which means you can set a mark at a
specific character, then move the cursor, then cut or copy the text between
the mark and the cursor point. The text can then be pasted anywhere.  The
region between the mark and the point is not highlighted in any way.

But fundamentally readline's cut/copy/paste buffer is separate from the system
clipboard, so you can't easily cut something with readline and paste it into
another program, or vice versa. Octave binds Ctrl+V to paste from the system
clipboard in the command window, but that is not related to readline at all.
You can highlight with the mouse and copy to the system clipboard, but not to
readline's cut buffer.
