Text selection by mouse #32

Closed Ashark closed 6 months ago

Ashark commented 7 months ago

Hello.

Thank you, this is really a cool project. I just accidentally saw it in the Brodie Robertson video. Bad that I did not know about it before.

How can I select the text with my mouse? For example, I want to copy paste someone's PKGBUILD or just copy the package name. When I try doing that, nothing happens.

depending more on what your terminal emulator offers ;)

I am using Yakuake - Konsole in KDE.

I have noticed that when I hold Shift, then I can select kinda. But the whole horizontal line is selected, without taking the panel into account.

seems to be by design and yea same here this is working holding shift cursor changed to copy mode..

Offering mouse support as well text selection is somewhat tricky. There is actually a feature request here: https://github.com/rivo/tview/issues/774

If you have the need to copy content from the PKGBUILD, you can switch to an external program for displaying. See https://github.com/moson-mo/pacseek/wiki/Configuration#show-pkgbuild-internally
