Terminal: copy/paste issue over SSH connection

[AmericanY]

Windows Terminal (Preview)
Version: 0.7.3451.0

I can copy/paste using ctrl-c & ctrl-v before i connect to SSH session.

My question here:

can i enable the same over ssh session ? or to copy on select via mouse ?

waiting for your feedback ASAP

I am able to copy-paste over an SSH connection using WT and use mouse selection. Are you asking whether or not this is possible or are you unable to perform this yourself?

@mkitzan thanks for your response. here on my end, I can only copy/paste using right click.

How can i enable Mouse selection ?

[mkitzan]

Take a look at my comment here about enabling Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V copy-paste.

Mouse selection should be there by default by performing the steps listed. If those don't work, let me know what happens when you perform those steps.

• left click at the point you want to start selecting text
• then drag the mouse over the text you want to select

@mkitzan now it's works via Ctrl+C Ctrl+V. how about if i want to use mouse copy on selection ?

From SettingsSchema.md

Globals

Properties listed below affect the entire window, regardless of the profile settings.

| Property | Necessity | Type | Default | Description |
| -------- | --------- | ---- | ------- | ----------- |
| copyOnSelect | Optional | Boolean | false | When set to true, a selection is immediately copied to your clipboard upon creation. When set to false, the selection persists and awaits further action. |

@zadjii-msft thanks for your response. could you please advise me where i should put this ?

I'm now inside profiles.json, i try to insert "copyOnSelect": true under keybindings but VScode telling me it's incorrect Property copyOnSelect is not allowed.

You can put it right in the root object of profiles.json:

{
    "$schema": "file:///c:/Users/migrie/dev/private/OpenConsole/doc/cascadia/profiles.schema.json",

    "alwaysShowTabs": false,
    "defaultProfile": "{0caa0dad-35be-5f56-a8ff-afceeeaa6101}",
    "copyOnSelect": true,
    ...
}
