"Smart" Copy

Open emanuelserpa opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I know that this seems too complex to kermit, but would be possible to implement the "smart" copy/paste feature?

This feature consists in the terminal recognizing if control+c/v is for cancelling a process or to copy/paste something.

Terminator, that is also Vte based, implemented that too. For reference: https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/issues/242

Just asking. If is out of scope, I won't question your motives and just close this issue.

Thanks!

Hey!

Yes, it sounds kinda complex but... why not? I think I can work on this when I have more free time for kermit :)

Terminator, that is also Vte based, implemented that too. For reference: gnome-terminator/terminator#242

Thanks for the reference, it's definitely gonna help while implementing.

No problem!

Thanks!
