How to copy text in gitk

Question

Can I copy source code in the left-bottom panel in gitk? Any keyboard shortcut or other functions?

OS: Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop / gitk: 1:1.6.0.4-1ubuntu2

Thank you.<

Run Gitk in backgroup mode and don't close it while you paste. The clipboard will work better while gitk is still running.

$ gitk &

You can also make it as function in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_aliases

function gitk() { 
    /usr/bin/gitk $@ & 
}
