Feature request: special "copy text" mode to allow copy text without using mouse. How to use: * press shortcut to go to copy text mode; * select text using standard text editor's keys (arrows, shift+arrows, etc); * press "Ctrl+c" (or any other key) to copy text and exit copy text mode. How to realize? When go to "copy text" mode: * get text from scroll history; may also get character colors and attributes (bold, italics); * hide terminal emulator window; * in place of terminal emulator window show text editor window; * insert stored text in text text editor; * draw text editor's cursor in position of terminal's cursor; * text editor window will handle cursor movement keys. When leave "copy text" mode: * hide text editor window; * show terminal emulator window; * position of terminal's cursor will not changed. Advantages: * do not need to send any escape sequences to running programs; * do not need to move cursor of virtual terminal; * console application know nothing about copy text mode. Any suggestions? Reproducible: Always
