In some terminals I can mark the text and it is automatically copied to the clipboard. In Windows Termial with PowerShell this is not possible. At least I did not find an appropriate option to force this behavior.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

A function like "Paste using right-click" or "Copy on select" would be very useful for everyday use.

We have a global setting called copyOnSelect.
