[FR] Make sioyek copy text selected using the mouse #1190

Closed NightMachinery closed 1 month ago

NightMachinery commented 1 month ago

I have

keyboard_select;copy v

which makes keyboard selections automatically copy the selection. Now I am looking for the same but for mouse selections.

If you are on an operating system that supports selection clipboard (e.g. X11) then we already do this. In other operating systems if you are looking for a way to copy the text without having to use keyboard you can do something like this (works only on the development branch):

right_click_context_menu 1
context_menu_items_for_selected_text copy

Does this fix your problem?

@ahrm On the dev branch on macOS; how do I always copy without using the context menu?

ahrm commented 1 month ago

Added always_copy_selected_text config option in https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek/commit/8877bf02bb5317e839561c369d043db814c17717.
