Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/13219

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary of the Pull Request

This introduced the toggleBlockSelection action to allow users to create a block selection using only the keyboard. This is not bound to any keys by default, however it is added to the command palette.

References

#4993 - Epic
#5804 - Spec

Validation Steps Performed

  • Mark mode always starts in line selection mode
  • Mouse selections are always in line selection mode by default
  • Can toggle block selection for an existing selection (regardless of how it was created)
  • The selection is copied properly (aka, no rendering issues)
