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 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 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.
