Description

Hello and thank you for your development of WindTerm. It is exactly what I was looking for: A FOSS cross-platform ssh/terminal/... client that is fast and does not eat a huge amount of resources.

I can comfortably work with WindTerm, however I found that it is impossible to send correct mouse inputs via ssh.
E.g. I am logging in to my server via ssh on which I use tmux for multiplexing. I have set up tmux to accept mouse inputs for easier navigation.
- Currently WindTerm seems to send some inputs, for example right-click, but the popup of the WindTerm context menu interferes with it.
- Left-clicks seem to have no issue.
- Scrolling appears to have the effect of arrow up/down or page up/down. While my tmux is configured to have a buffer that I can scroll up to in other terminals

So my suggestions would be to to have an option to disable the WindTerm context menu, or only show it when pressing a hotkey.

Furthermore I found that copying lines when using tmux is impossible and seems to not copy the selection but something like:
` | ssh_tmu2:p4 3:[tmux]* 4:bash- | | Thu 2021-08-05 10:09 `
, which is the status bar of tmux and the last line in the terminal.
