Nano is a terminal editor, not a graphical one, thus expecting it to work more like a graphical editor is unrealistic. Also, when expecting a right click to offer a "Copy to Clipboard", it means the user is working in a graphical environment anyway, so they had better opt for using a graphical editor like Gedit, that does all the requested things.
(For selecting text beyond the screen boundaries, nano has its own mechanism: setting the mark at the start of what is to be selected (with ^6 or two mouse clicks on the same spot), and then scrolling the cursor to what is to be the end of the selection.) So, in short: wontfix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2117462 Title: Feature Request: Enhance mouse selection in GNU nano for continuous scrolling and direct copy without Alt+M To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nano/+bug/2117462/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
