I have used the wpa_passphrase command and I get something like this:
network={ ssid="blahblah"
#psk="moreblahblah" psk=d5e532ecca53ea963e5b3b5521bb3682c53fcf5b6d55f15622027145c795b661 }
I need to copy that "psk=[long string]" to my wpa_supplicant.conf file. How can I select it in order to copy it? And then what command do I use to copy it? Such that in my favourite text editor I can press a paste command to paste it? (ps. I don't have a mouse )

if you have a touchpad though, highlight the text and press Ctrl + Shift + C to copy ...
the following resources describe how to copy/paste using keyboard only -- screen/byobu:
How do I integrate Byobu's copy-buffer with the X clipboard?
