Question #16

Closed zaeboba closed 3 months ago

zaeboba commented 3 months ago

What hot buttons are used to select text on one side only? (I don't know what the English word is. Here is an example in the picture) I use wezterm/windows image

To do a block selection first add cursors downwards with Shift-Alt-Down and then select sideways with Shift-Right. I hope that answers your question!

Here's a short video to demonstrate:

hallo, in the version I have built at the moment, the keyboard shortcut does not work Shift-Alt-Down

ps doesn't work in the original terminal, but it works in wezterm

Yes, as stated in the README.md, many keybindings require a terminal that supports kitty keyboard protocol. Most modern terminals do, but not all. Flow will print a message in the log if it detects kitty keyboard support. You can show the log on start with flow --show-log.

I don't know if that was a question? here, the left one is the windows terminal "flow --show-log" opened immediately, the right one is wezterm, it opened something incomprehensible 🤪 image

Ah, sorry, I completely over looked that you are on windows. kitty keyboard protocol is not a thing on windows. If Shift-Alt-up is not working it is because it is bound to some terminal command in Windows Terminal. Go into the settings and remove any conflicting bindings. I think they're in the Actions section.
