Description

Hi!

It would be nice if you could add an "intelligent" copy feature. Many other terminals support it.

If you select a text and click "CTRL+C", it will copy the selected text and remove the selection.
If you click "CTRL+C" normally, it will send the interrupt to the shell like normally.

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating Hyper's Ctrl+C handling and the terminal selection behavior; done means Ctrl+C copies and clears an active selection, while an unselected Ctrl+C still sends the shell interrupt.
