Hi @0xmovses,
Are you using Wayland? If yes, please check https://github.com/F1bonacc1/process-compose/issues/116
I can probably solve it by requiring the users to install an additional dependency on their Wayland distro, which I wanted to avoid.
I'm on macOS using Kitty and am also unable to copy/paste from the tui log output. I can use select mode to select text but pressing cmd+c to copy does nothing. Is there a separate shortcut specific to process-compose or Kitty I should be using?

Try Control + Shift + H and then select and copy
Hi @joefiorini,
I never personally tested it on macOS, but processs-compose should show you this hint when you enter selection more:
Can you please confirm:
- that the hint is indeed shown
- that when you press
Enterthe selection is indeed copied
Thanks!
I'm on WSL using Windows Terminal and I have searched quite a while for a way to enter selection mode. Normally it's just clicking and dragging the mouse. I found that pressing Shift and dragging the mouse works. There is no hint shown that would indicate that process-compose is aware that it is now in selection mode.
When selecting multiple lines this way, the windows borders are also selected (and copy-pasted). It would be better to be able to just select the log text.
Actually, I'm not sure what "selection mode" is, whether that is a mode of the terminal or of process-compose, and whether either was in it. What I can say is that I was able to select, copy and paste text. In order to select text, I had to press Shift and drag the mouse. I did not press Ctrl-S at any point. Just now, I tested what pressing Ctrl-S does and it does not seem to do anything. In particular, it does not allow me to select text.
Your terminal may have bound Ctrl-s to some other shortcut. You can try to change either your terminal or process-compose shortcut. https://f1bonacc1.github.io/process-compose/tui/#shortcuts-configuration
# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/process-compose/shortcuts.yaml
shortcuts:
log_select: # action name - don't edit
shortcut: Ctrl-S # shortcut to be used
You should see the change after restarting process-compose:
My terminal does not seem to bind Ctrl-S (Windows Terminal default bindings). However, I tried your suggestion and bound log_select to Ctrl-R, Ctrl-T, Ctrl-U, F1, F11, F12. None of that worked. (In particular, there was no change in the visible key bindings on screen.) To see whether process-compose was actually finding shortcuts.yaml, I bound quit to F3 (as in the docs). Then the change was visible -- however: the key F3 did not actually quit, it showed process info just as before.
I tried F11 and it didn't work because it is bound to Full Screen in my Konsole (KDE Terminal), then I tried Ctrl-U and it worked as expected:
F3 behavior is expected since you must first unbind it from process_info to which it is bound by default.
I can probably solve it by requiring the users to install an additional dependency on their Wayland distro, which I wanted to avoid.
I would love that solution, and hopefully enabling copying on wayland. Honestly such a great tool that is currently pretty limiting to anyone with that WM.

I just tried this and got a go panic. I'm SSHed from my mac into a arch machine. My terminal is ghostty and the shell on the server is zsh.
