Description
Please, please (please!) add a setting to enable PuTTY style text selection behavior in the new terminal.
-
Randomly left clicking on a terminal should not select 1 character, it should just focus (or keep focus if already focused) the window. Nowhere in windows other than terminal does clicking select a character. This is really annoying in multi-monitor scenarios when you are unsure if a window is focused and you click in and it selects a character...
-
Selecting text with your mouse should automatically copy to the clipboard onmouseup, there are not many scenarios when selecting text in a terminal does not result in copying to the clipboard so it is weird to have to right-click on press enter to copy.
-
Selected text should automatically be deselected when the clipboard changes, quite helpful to visually see that the selected text is no longer in the clipboard. Surprisingly useful.
-
Right click should always be paste (not copy!), regardless of if text is currently selected or not. Very annoying, especially with the first issue, if you select a window which was already focused a character is selected, then right clicking to paste ends up copying the selected character.. grr!
-
Selection should not be lost when typing in the terminal, if you select some text then type a command, it is helpful for the selection to remain selected. This way you know what is in the clipboard (if the 3rd suggestion is implemented).
Please, please, please implement these, thanks! :)
