I want to make gnome-terminal behave in such a way that when the end user selects a region on the terminal (with a mouse or mouse key), it gets automatically copied into the clipboard. Is it possible at all? If so, how?

Adding this to ~/.Xresources (create if it doesn't exist) worked for me:
xterm*selectToClipboard: true
Just Log out and back in or do a restart. Selected text will then be automatically copied and you can paste it with middle-click (when middle-click is enabled in Gnome-Tweaks)
