  • Tests added/passed
  • Requires documentation to be updated
  • I've discussed this with core contributors already. If not checked, I'm ready to accept this work might be rejected in favor of a different grand plan. Issue number where discussion took place: #1072, #968 his connects the (mostly) pre-existing copy/paste mechanics to the keyboard shortcut mechanics.

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Changes:

  • Added TermControl::PasteTextFromClipboard which does what it says on the tin. Refactored the paste code from the right-click handling in TermControl here.
  • Added App::_PasteText, mirroring the pre-existing App::_CopyText
  • Added connections from keybindings to copy/paste functionality in App::_HookupKeyBindings

Notes:

  • This PR interprets the keybinding "copy" as a copy trimming trailing whitespace (the operation performed by a right-click with a selection active). It may be appropriate to add a keybinding for a whitespace-preserving copy (which is now done as a shift-right-click with a selection active).
