Several times I need to copy all the buffer of a session to the clipboard.

Actually on Windows terminal, to get all the buffer copyed, I need to scrooll back to the top, click on the begging, hold shift, scroll to the end, and then copy all the buffer.

O putty a simple right-click on the title bar gives-me that option.

I'm Migrating from MacOS, and there Command+A is different from CTRL+A.

  • CTRL+A could means some special command to the remote session.
  • WinKey+A (equivalent to Command+A from MacOS) is a special Key combination of Operational system.

I searched for it on the docs, and I did't find anything.
I tried to guess the key combination, but I had no success.

How do I copy all the buffer without and hercúleos effort?

Huh, okay I don't think we actually have an issue for this.
Fortunately, I do think we have a PR for it here:#3758

Workaround similar to this so you don't need to scroll by hand

  1. Press Ctrl+Shift+Home
  2. Select first n char with mouse and hold the mouse button
  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+End (still holding the mouse button during selection)
  4. Move mouse to the end of the screen

Whole Terminal scrollback + screen should be selected (and can be copied)

Is there an easy way to press Ctrl+Shift+End while still holding the mouse button during selection? Or need some key map for helping?

  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+End
  4. While holding Shift click the end of the last line

It looks like only the last line is selected, but actually all lines are selected :)
