    That’s a popular terminal feature, but I regularly get tripped up because my terminal has that behavior but my browser does not.

    That’s what’s nice about a global solution.

      in most systems this is global. it’s provided by the desktop and programs just see a copy/paste event. are you on wayland by any chance?

          yeah that’d do it. on X11 this is a solved problem, but wayland delegates the responsibility to the wm, and i don’t think anyone other than gnome has actually implemented it. another one of the paper cuts that makes it hard for me to make the switch.

        There’s only two. One has broken primary selection, the other has anti-user policies against adblock plugins.

        I can live without copy on highlight. But you could pry UBlock Origin from my cold, dead hands.
