Describe the enhancement you want to request
Description
Currently, the TUI only targets the CLIPBOARD selection when copying text. On Linux, this means that while Ctrl+C/V works, the native "highlight to copy" and "middle-click to paste" behavior (PRIMARY selection) is not supported.
This makes the TUI feel non-native on Linux environments.
Proposed Solution
Introduce a new configuration option linux_clipboard_selection in the TUI config with the following values:
clipboard: Standard Ctrl+C/V (current behavior)primary: Targets the middle-click bufferboth: Updates both buffers simultaneously (recommended default)
This requires using xclip, xsel, or wl-copy to explicitly target the primary selection.
