copy & paste is again not working
I tried to copy&paste from my Linux Gnome shell but it is not working anymore.
As far as I remember it has worked with the middle button of the mouse.
I have set this:
mouse_mode = true copy_command "wl-copy -p"
When I copy a text I see the string "Text piped to external command".
When I run "wl-paste --primary" in the console I get the copied text.
So maybe this is some Gnome / Wayland issue - I am unsure.
mouse_mode = false
I can copy & paste but as far as I remember there was some reason not to use it this way (this "extra spaces at the end of the lines" issue). I have tested and this issue is still there.

Tested with v0.33.0 on Fedora 37 Sliverblue.
Hey, the problem here is that since mouse_mode is on, the middle click is being interpreted by zellij and doesn't cause a paste.
We need to figure out a better way to do this, but for now I think the only workaround in this scenario is to use shift+middle click.
It is strange - today just the middle click works as before.
Next time it is not working I will try shift+middle click.
Could the difference be pasting into zellij, vs pasting into another program (this should work fine)?
In both cases I tested to paste into Visual Studio Code. I tried again now and it is still working.
@tlinford i see ToggleMouseMode action in code base, but there is no bind key in config.kdl, may i ask how to enable it?
Zellij 0.37.0 still not working, but yet it says it copied. If I select with shift and shift+MMB it works, but I it's not zellij doing, but terminal's, since default Gnome Terminal, Xfce Terminal and Xterm expose the same behavior.

@tlinford partially it solves the issue. Installed xclip, provided external command and provided copy_clipboard. It allows to insert via Ctrl+Shift+V, but not Shift+Insert regardless of provided clipboard buffer. copy_on_select set to true.
Also noticed that if I detach from session after changing config it will verify it on attach but will not apply changes. Is it intentional or should I make another issue?
Yeah, at the moment, zellij either copies to clipboard or to primary buffer, not both. I'm thinking I should get back to that soon :)
I'm not sure about the second part, but it may be worth checking if there is already an issue open for that.
