Feat: Allow visual mode in scrollback

Open Wilkuu-2 opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

Using iamb instead of element has been great, but I still end up returning to element when I am unable to open a link or quoting. Both issues can be solved with selecting using the terminal up until the text spans more than one line, and you start to include the window borders in your selection.

This would be solved if there was an option to enter visual mode in message scrollback, treating the message as a small read only buffer you can copy from. Currently, you can only copy a whole message using "+y which is suboptimal in most cases.

Interesting. :open does not work sometimes ? Has been consistent for me. docs: opening links

As for quoting, I didn't even know that's possible, I just use :reply, isn't that the same thing? 😄 docs: replying

I believe the issue with :open is fixed by #476.

And "+y is a vim command that copies (yanks) the current selection to the system clipboard. The quote character just lets you select which clipboard to target.
