more configuration options for Copy/Paste * Adds `CopyTo` and `PasteFrom` assignments that specify the destination/source. * Adds `default_clipboard_copy_destination` and `default_paste_source` config options that specify the default destination/source for existing `Copy` and `Paste` operations (for @bew) * Deprecating `PastePrimarySelection` in favor of `PasteFrom`. * Added `CTRL-Insert` -> `Copy` (for @Babar) Aside from the new key assignment, these changes shouldn't change the default behavior, but do make it easier to consider changing that in a later commit. They should allow for example: * Set `default_clipboard_copy_destination = "PrimarySelection"` to prevent populating the clipboard by default when using the mouse. * Overriding the CTRL-Insert, CTRL-SHIFT-C to explicitly populate the clipboard * Set `default_paste_source = "PrimarySelection"` for middle click to paste the selection. * Overriding SHIFT-Insert, CTRL-SHIFT-V to explicitly paste from the clipboard. refs: #417 2021-01-27 19:43:59 +03:00			`Copy the selection to the clipboard.`

docs: update for 20210203-095643-70a364eb release 2021-02-03 21:03:04 +03:00			`since: 20210203-095643-70a364eb`
wezterm: change default copy/paste behavior on X11 This commit changes mouse-based selection and middle click to use the PrimarySelection. CTRL-SHIFT-{C,V} use Clipboard. {SHIFT,CTRL}-Insert use PrimarySelection. `CompleteSelection` and `CompleteSelectionOrOpenLinkAtMouseCursor` now require a parameter to specify the destination clipboard. Removed the `default_clipboard_XXX` options added in 8dad34fa61763da354aaa255d3f30739c5766754 in favor of just explicitly assigning the key/mouse bindings. closes: #417 2021-01-31 20:28:42 +03:00
