Hyper: Right click the selection to automatically insert selected text

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version

• OS version and name: Windows 10
• Hyper.app version: 2.1.1 (stable)

• Relevant information from devtools _(CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere)_: none
• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla

Issue

Most of the linux terminal emulators I've worked with and cmder on windows automatically insert the selected text when right clicking the selection. From what I can tell, hyper.js requires two right clicks (one for copy and one for paste). I've tried setting copyOnSelect: true in the .hyper.js config file, but it didn't help.

Is this something that would be considered for implementation? Or, if not, what would be the simplest way to implement it via a plugin?

You want quickEdit: true,

I think there is a misunderstanding of what the OP is talking about. Currently even with quickEdit enabled, you need two clicks to paste text. The first click clears the selected text, and the second actually pastes it. This is even referenced in the comment for the quickEdit option.

// if `true` (without backticks and without quotes), on right click selected text will be copied or pasted if no
// selection is present (`true` by default on Windows and disables the context menu feature)

It would be nice if there was an option to clear the selection and paste at the same time in a single click. This is how other terminals I have used function. Also if you have copyOnSelect enabled, it doesn't really make sense to have right click copy the text anyway.
