If I can use a CLI or TUI application, I will rarely use a GUI. Here is why.

    I solved the drag and drop issue with dragon. Copying and pasting depends purely on your terminal emulator, no?

      As I’ve found with nvim using the lazy-vim config, no. That program, for example, requires a separate clipboard manager if you want to copy between it and your system.

        That’s kind of the nature of this sort of apps. Instead of implementing the clipboard handler yourself, you just rely on whatever clipboard utility the system already has.

          That’s why I have disabeled it for vim. Infact I disabled mouse support alltogether.

      Which terminal emulator copies with ctrl+c?

        Most terminal emulators will copy with Ctrl+Shift+c. I’m using foot, if you set this part of your config, it will copy with just Ctrl+c.

        [key-bindings]
        clipboard-copy=Control+c XF86Copy
        

        But now for most shells you don’t have a keybind to send SIGINT, which is very commonly used.
