I am able to copy-paste over an SSH connection using WT and use mouse selection. Are you asking whether or not this is possible or are you unable to perform this yourself?

Take a look at my comment here about enabling Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V copy-paste.

Mouse selection should be there by default by performing the steps listed. If those don't work, let me know what happens when you perform those steps.

  • left click at the point you want to start selecting text
  • then drag the mouse over the text you want to select

From SettingsSchema.md

Globals

Properties listed below affect the entire window, regardless of the profile settings.

Property Necessity Type Default Description
copyOnSelect Optional Boolean false When set to true, a selection is immediately copied to your clipboard upon creation. When set to false, the selection persists and awaits further action.

You can put it right in the root object of profiles.json:

{
    "$schema": "file:///c:/Users/migrie/dev/private/OpenConsole/doc/cascadia/profiles.schema.json",

    "alwaysShowTabs": false,
    "defaultProfile": "{0caa0dad-35be-5f56-a8ff-afceeeaa6101}",
    "copyOnSelect": true,
	...
}
