[FR] option to freeze on mouse selection #2373

Closed mrx23dot closed 2 years ago

mrx23dot commented 2 years ago

Windows cmd.exe does have a useful behavior, it freezes the running of a fast script when doing mouse selection. (acts like a pause break button + mouse selection, 2in1) Very useful to stop fast moving parts for a moment, inspect it, do extra selections/copies.

Currently when I select something in ConEmu the selection stays in place but the content runs in behind (or gets lost with moving text), which is not really useful for anything.

So what do you think about adopting this part from cmd.exe, at least as an option if not by default. Great way to increase usability.

Not sure if this suppose to do it, but it doesn't behave like cmd.exe Or it's just not fast enough. Also unfreezes when doing a 2nd selection.

We can do it in 2 steps instead, pause break and selection.
