More info in /dup #2464; we should consider adding this to our default settings.

@DHowett-MSFT Should the bot have closed this one? The referenced ticket seems to be about enabling the config setting, this ticket seems to be about having it in the defaults for new installations.

hi @ncoghlan I think I have read similar what you wrote, I've uninstalled terminal app and installed it again.
for the non "preview" app I don't see this is working select + enter will not copy to clipboard but ignoring selection and issue the command (as enter would do usually when not selected). So basically, it seems to be no default for new installation or uninstall / install does not remove configs. But given the tabs it looks like it does defaulting.
