## Copy Mode
|
|
|
|
*since: 20200607-144723-74889cd4*
|
|
|
|
Copy mode allows you to make selections using the keyboard; no need to reach
|
|
for your mouse or trackpad. Copy mode is similar to [quick select
|
|
mode](quickselect.md) but is geared up for describing selections based on
|
|
keyboard control, whereas quick select mode is used to quickly select and
|
|
copy commonly used patterns. The [colors](config/appearance.md#defining-your-own-colors)
|
|
of the highlighted/selected text can be configured.
|
|
|
|
The `ActivateCopyMode` key assignment is used to enter copy mode; it is
|
|
bound to `CTRL-SHIFT-X` by default.
|
|
|
|
When copy mode is activated, the title is prefixed with "Copy Mode" and
|
|
the behavior of the tab is changed; keyboard input now controls the
|
|
cursor and allows moving it through the scrollback, scrolling the viewport
|
|
as needed, in a style similar to that of the Vim editor.
|
|
|
|
Move the cursor to the start of the region you wish to select and press `v` to
|
|
toggle selection mode (it is off by default), then move the cursor to the end
|
|
of that region. You can then use `Copy` (by default: `CTRL-SHIFT-C`) to copy
|
|
that region to the clipboard.
|
|
|
|

### Configurable Key Assignments
|
|
|
|
*Since: 20220624-141144-bd1b7c5d*
|
|
|
|
The key assignments for copy mode are specified by the `copy_mode` [Key Table](config/key-tables.md).
|
|
|
|
You may provide your own definition of this key table if you wish to customize
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
You may use
|
|
[wezterm.gui.default_key_tables](config/lua/wezterm.gui/default_key_tables.md)
|
|
to obtain the defaults and extend them. In earlier versions of wezterm there
|
|
wasn't a way to override portions of the key table, only to replace the entire
|
|
table.
|
|
|
|
The default configuration at the time that these docs were built (which
|
|
may be more recent than your version of wezterm) is shown below.
|
|
|
|
You can see the configuration in your version of wezterm by running
|
|
`wezterm show-keys --lua --key-table copy_mode`.
