When mouse: true in tui.json, mouse scrolling works but selecting text auto-copies to clipboard. When mouse: false, there is no auto-copy but scrolling also stops working.

Please add a separate option like "copy_on_select": false to disable auto-copy on selection while keeping mouse scrolling ("mouse": true) enabled.

This would let users choose to disable the auto-copy behavior without losing mouse scroll support in the TUI.

    +1: When running in herdr, it has its own copy-on-select feature.

    This. The copy-on-select feature drives me crazy - imagine if every application on your desktop implemented selection in a different way.

    Please fix this. I am completely bemused as on my Ubuntu 26.04, when I select content in the terminal window, things don't actually get copied to clipboard but the selection is cleared so I can't use OS native copy. If I disable mouse, no scrolling. Help!

    There is a setting for this in the next version of opencode
