Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
  • OS version and name: Windows 10
  • Hyper.app version: 3.0.2
  • Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: Default
  • Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): NA
  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla

Issue

If I highlight some text and hit ctrl+c I would like to copy the text to the clipboard. If no text is highlighted I would like ctrl+c to interrupt as normal.

This seems to be the way the terminal works in VSCode and I am trying to make Hyper consistent with that.

Is it possible to configure this functionality?

Research direction

Reproduce this in Hyper 3.0.2 on Windows 10 with the default .hyper.js and compare the behavior with VS Code's terminal. Use the issue's stated selection and interruption cases as the acceptance criteria, and verify the result in vanilla Hyper.app; the payload does not identify a source file or test.
