Default Should be easy.... Keyboard copy n paste

The mouse highlight / middle click works fine but it's inefficient to have to use a mouse when i'm working in a console. I have 4.3 running fluxbox and eterm as the terminal. tcsh as the shell. Can you highlight text or otherwise copy/paste words without the mouse? I'm sure you can but I haven't run across anything. Anyone got a link that explains or a command to point me in the right direction? i'd like to be able to ctrl-shift-left and highlight the last word at the console and copy it elsewhere al la windows.
