Description
When accessing a Linux system using Git Bash, you can copy/paste content by simply right clicking to open the context menu that allows you to copy/paste content using your clipboard and then selecting copy or paste. This is the expected behavior.
When accessing a z/OS system using Git Bash, you need to hold [shift] and then right click to open the context menu. The behavior of vim on z/OS should match the behavior of vim on Linux such that the user should be able to just right click to open the context menu.
