Feature request: copy to system clipboard from selected message

[kiil]

Hi,

I often use the 'note to self' in Signal to send quick "on the road" notes from my mobile, and then later open them in front of my computer at home and add them to my documents.

Currently I believe there is no way to copy from a selected message in gurk to the system clipboard.

Is that a feature you would consider implementing?

Thanks for a nice client :)

We have already a way to select a mesage with Alt+Up/Down. On Enter, if there is a link in the message, we open the link in the default browser. Now, we need another shortcut for copy the contents into the clipboard. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, clicking on the mesage for selecting it is not yet implemented. This might be also useful for this feature.

If possible, ctrl+enter

It is already possible to select the message with the scroll wheel on the mouse 👍

After checking out several clipboard crates, it looks like arboard is the best (other have conflicting requirements on X11 and Wayland, and sometimes need a window). However, CTRL + Enter does not work in terminals. So we need to come up with a different binding.

Thanks for investigating this :)

How about ctrl-y for yank?

Implemented for text messages with alt+y
