Problem

I just started using Console2 as an alternative to cmd.exe I can't figure out how to copy text from the console to the clipboard -- dragging over it with the mouse won't mark anything, and there is no option in the right-click menu to "mark" as in cmd.exe It must be terribly obvious but I guess I'm overlooking it... :(

Fix for: How to copy text from Console2?

Low Risk

Open Console2 menu Edit -> Settings, and in the Hotkeys / Mouse settings configure the selection and copy actions. The defaults are a bit wonky. I use: Left mouse button = select Ctrl+C = copy Ctrl+V = paste ESC = clear selection Make sure you press 'Assign' after each change you make otherwise it won't take effect. Last note: Beware if you use ESC or Ctrl+V in vim, or in any other app.
