Copy enhancement request

Opened this issue · 3 comments

I was recently using MobileTerminal to grab output from my server on the go, 
and had to resort to taking a screenshot because the copy functionality isn't 
very intuitive. The fact that copy and paste is available at all is fantastic, 
don't get me wrong. But it would be nice to be able to select a range of text 
to copy, or somehow do a copy of the entire screen (or even better, the entire 
buffer). 

I'm also still trying to figure out how to activate copy and paste in the first 
place. I have the shortcut gesture set to double-finger double-tap. It turns 
the cursor lighter (usually after a couple of tries). But after that, I poke 
and prod the screen randomly until the popup menu appears. What am I supposed 
to do to activate this properly?

Once you've turned on copy paste, then you select a start point and drag to 
select an end point.  Yeah, its pretty poor because its entirely re-implemented 
since the vt100 screen isn't a normal text box.  Also, its not clear how to 
enable it given all the supported gestures.  Perhaps some user experience 
expert could offer to figure this out for us :)
