Environment

Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
 Win32NT             10.0.19042.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19042.0
Windows Terminal Version: 1.3.2651.0
WSL2: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3, OpenSSL 1.0.2n  7 Dec 2017
Remote Server Version: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
tmux 2.6

Steps to reproduce

1 - Open Windows Terminal
2 - Open Ubuntu 18.04 WSL terminal
3 - SSH to the remote server
4 - Start or open a tmux session
tmux new -s test
5 - Copy paste using mouse
** Using the Shift key`**

  • Select some text in the terminal using Shift + mouse left
  • Paste it using shift + right

** Without shift key **

  • Select some text in the terminal using mouse left
  • Paste it using right

Expected behavior

I want to switch the Windows terminal from Cygwin based mintty terminal.

In Cygwin terminal, shift + mouse left click selects and copies text from a tmux session. shift + mouse right pastes. The copied text is in the clipboard, and I can even paste it into any text editor in Windows.

However, I couldn't accomplish to copy/paste behavior on the Windows terminal using shift or without shift.

Actual behavior

  • shift + mouse left selects texts, but it doesn't seem copy. shift + mouse right can't paste.
  • mouse left doesn't select and copy text. mouse right doesn't do anything,

@ismailhkose commented on GitHub (Sep 27, 2020):

I guess there was a configuration issue. I completely removed and installed again. The version was newer but the config was older, and there were some parsing errors due to breaking changes.
