I installed ConEmu last week, thought I'd give it a try vs. Console2. After staring at various config options for 10 minutes I didn't see any way to get ConEmu to automatically copy text that I've selected to the clipboard. Console2 will do it.

Is there a config option for this that I missed? I sure didn't see one but the configuration of ConEmu is a bit... jumbled.

You'd think it would be on the Mark & Paste screen:

  1. Update to a version >= 120617a
  2. Option "Auto copy" on the "Mark & Paste" page. Check it.

ConEmu 120617a

Please note. In latest developer builds (like 120717) option was renamed to "Copy on LButton up"

ConEmu 120717

  • Yeah? I sure don't see it. Added the screen to the OP. – jcollum Jun 18 '12 at 20:05

    @jcollum You should've mentioned the version. The versions in both screenshots do not match. ;) – iglvzx Jun 18 '12 at 20:12

  • @iglvzx indeed. I just downloaded this app last week. Apparently Auto Copy was added between now and then. 120617a.x64 has it. – jcollum Jun 18 '12 at 20:15

    I had to turn off the Left Shift modifier on Text Selection to get this to work. – jcollum Jun 18 '12 at 20:18
  • @Maximus here's a feature request: selecting across lines and copying text results in 1 line when pasted -- my #1 complaint about windows cmd/powershell vs bash – jcollum Jun 18 '12 at 20:20
  • I thought about it, but have not found accurate method of "real \r\n" detection. So, was postponed. Only way I see - if end of console line has more than two spases - it is "new line" – Maximus Jun 18 '12 at 20:29
  • in latest version, under keys & Macro --> Mark & Paste --> Text Selection: select with mouse, you can select using left Shift key by default. – Jackie Feb 28 '13 at 04:24
  • How do you disable it in the current alpha version? I unticked Copy on Left Button release, but it still does it. – CMCDragonkai May 01 '14 at 04:05
  • Just checked. It does not. – Maximus May 01 '14 at 10:03
