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.
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.
