Dear Team,

First of all I would like to say a great thanks to the developers of conEmu. :)

I wanted to ask whether I can tweak setting so as:
  • On double click: current word gets selected and hence copied.
  • On triple click: Current line gets selected and hence copied.
This will give users same experience as in any text editing tool like Notepad or any other. The later one (copy part) has been already deployed by the team.

Why I need this:  I use to do ssh to a remote machine using conEmu, rather than putty or xShell. So, It is overhead and time consuming to select text by dragging mouse. So as to reduce this time and having seamless experience, given requirement arouse.

Requesting you to provide the steps to do this setting, if it is provided by conEmu. And if not provided, then requesting team to develop it as well.

Thanks,

Hi

Editing tools like Notepad do not do copying after LeftMouseButtonUp.
Standard Windows console do not do copying after LBtnUp too.

However, linux terminals do copying automatically without selection reset.
Strange for me, but by default ConEmu mimic this behavior.
Also, ConEmu do double and triple click selection by default.

So, I can't understand your problem.

Exactly what I was asking for. There was a tweak needed in settings, that got fixed from this URL: https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu/issues/493

Thanks for your response.
