Environment

Windows build number: [run `[Environment]::OSVersion` for powershell, or `ver` for cmd]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):

Any other software?

Windows version: 10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal version: 1.0.1401.0
Ssh client version: OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.7p1, LibreSSL 2.6.5
Powershell Core version: 7.0.1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Ssh to a remote machine
  2. Copy some data
  3. Start an editor in the remote machine using vim and enter insert mode
  4. Right click to paste the data copied at step 2.

Expected behavior

Data copied at step 2 shows up in terminal.

Actual behavior

Nothing shows up.

Just using powershell core without Windows Terminal work as expected. Using Windows Terminal but using nano instead of vim, it also works.

OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.7p1

Can you bump to the 8.1 release?

Why? If OpenSSH is the one to blame, then why it works on powershell core without Windows Terminal?

Hey, when vim is running in SSH can you still select text?

If not, can you try to Shift+Right Click to paste?

No, I can't select text.

can you try to Shift+Right Click to paste?

It works.

And just confirm it seems be related to the remote shell. The issue only happens when remote shell is fish shell.

@DHowett commented on GitHub (Jun 12, 2020):

So, this is a weird interaction between the remote app, ssh and terminal.

  • Vim and a couple other applications request mouse input ("Terminal, send me info about the mouse!")
  • SSH passes this request through
  • Terminal receives it, and starts to direct mouse input into Vim

This works great in WSL and with OpenSSH 8.
When it's working, left click/right click are supposed to go directly to Vim so it can handle them.

When mouse mode is turned off, right-click goes to the Terminal which turns it into a paste.

What happens with SSH 7.7, however is:

  • Terminal sends mouse data to SSH (as requested)
  • SSH intercepts it and ignores it
  • Vim never receives it.

So mouse mode is disabled when shift is hold?

Correct :)

We used to have a workaround that made it so SSH couldn’t mess up the terminal if it wasn’t going to handle mouse mode. I sent out a pull request that brings that workaround back. It should fix the symptom, but it will not make mouse mode work in SSH. 😄
