Double-click selection in vim doesn't wrap onto next line (although Terminal understands it's a single line because it detects and underscores the URL) #18726

Originally created by @vadimkantorov on GitHub (Oct 20, 2022).

Windows Terminal version

1.15.2713.0 (btw would be nice if wt -v dialog window allowed copy of text)

Windows build number

10.0.22621.674

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Have a long line (url) in vim wrapping on multiple lines. It gets highlighted/underscored as a URL, so Terminal understands that it's a single line. But double-click for select/copy-on-select doesn't wrap around.

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

Not the full line is selected

This may be like the bash issue, though, if vim is hard-wrapping its text. The URL detector strings together every line (which is also a problem, but in the other direction: it ignores hard wraps)!

Funny enough, it does! All win32 dialogs/message boxes can be copied to the clipboard with Ctrl+C! They even get a fun hard copy rendition:

Wow! It probably should be explicitly added to a dialog window title or window text. I bet that no more than 1000 people on the globe know about this win32 feature :) Or maybe OK could copy this text to the clipboard as well (but this would also need to be hinted)

Bash can interfere into vim? My problem was specifically with vim.

But bash seems to have the same problem:

Sorry, what I mean is this.

bash does hard line wrapping.
Maybe vim does hard line wrapping too.

(It may be "like" the bash issue you'd filed. 🙂)

Maybe at least for the case of URLs, the hard-wrap merging could be enabled... it's very strange that uncerscoring and selection do not match
