[linux] Copilot blocks right click menu of console

[laeubi]

Describe the bug

Previously I could just use right-click > copy of the Standard console application or use other option.

No it seems copilot captures the right-click and try to use their own copy/paste... while paste works, copy fails with

spawn xclip ENOENT

I think its generally a bad idea to "capture" the mouse from the user in a CLI application at least it should be configurable.

Additional context

Installing xclip explicitly fixes the issue of copy but the remaining actions from the native context menu are still blocked.

Hi @laeubi this is part of a larger change to how the CLI is approaching rendering (in order to fix flickering and flashing).

You can disable capturing the mouse by running with --no-mouse (which will persist "mouse": false in your ~/.copilot/config.json). However, this comes with a trade-off that the CLI doesn't receive mouse scrolling events, so page-up and page-down keys will need to be used to scroll the timeline.

but the remaining actions from the native context menu are still blocked

If there are other actions you need we can look into implementing them. Let us know!
