better on-screen selection #632

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Can we have a better selection tool for selecting text out of connectbot.

Rather ghan a single click and drag to select, offer both exosting area and 
wraparound start/end markers like a standard text entry widget.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected ouput? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?

What type of system are you trying to connect to?

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?

Please provide any additional information below.

I would be curious what the developers think about this. As it stands, the 
existing "Copy" button is totally useless since it is impossible for any human 
being to accurately select text. Maybe if you had a stylus the size of a 
toothpick...
