No need to copy/paste(and if you do, do it mouse-chording), you can use
"Send" directly.

Edit any line in your window, double click at the start or end of the
line to select it, and then Middle-click->Send; is a very common and
useful idiom(note that in the default profile your shell prompt is
defined as a NOP function precisely for this).

This are all FAQs, I think for the most part are well documented in the
papers, man pages and the Wiki; and of course lots of material and in
the 9fans archives.

The Plan 9 community can be friendly or harsh, but reading the docs is
always well worth the time.
