Can you select text when you hold shift and use the mouse to select text/? Sounds to me like gdb's TUI mode enabled mouse mode.

I can select text w/ shift pressed, thanks! Is there other way to configure Windows terminal to disable this mouse mode to avoid pressing shift?

I also have the problem.
1.When I use MobaXterm, and use gdb .a.out, the mouse can not select any text.
2. But when the shift press down, I can partial copy and past.

Q1:Is there a solution, or configuration to fix this issue?
