Description

### Describe the bug

Previously I could just use right-click > copy of the Standard console application or use other option.

No it seems copilot captures the right-click and try to use their own copy/paste... while paste works, copy fails with

`spawn xclip ENOENT`

I think its generally a bad idea to "capture" the mouse from the user in a CLI application at least it should be configurable.

### Affected version

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

_No response_

### Expected behavior

_No response_

### Additional context

Installing `xclip` explicitly fixes the issue of copy but the remaining actions from the native context menu are still blocked.
