WTH - Why can't I use cmd+c cmd+v for selected lines in Home Assistant Add-on: "SSH server"?

Only when using cmd+a I get a sissors icon and am able to copy and past only the lines shown on the present screen.

I would like to be able to select any amount of lines and copy them to clipboard, the pasting it anywhere like using any regular Terminal. I use macOS.

Thanks

You can use shift or Ctrl+shift, not sure which one. To have all terminal features available.

[edit] you need to hold shift during the action
you can then select text for copy and right mouseclick and select past.

FYI. The standard in all terminal for Linux and windows is right click for paste. So mac is the outlier.

In macOS the workflow for me is much the same as for Linux or Windows:

select with mouse
right-click
select copy (to clipboard)
paste where ever you like.

However in the Home Assistant Add-on; SSH Server the mouse selection - turns yellow - won’t hold. When trying to use the mouse, the selection disappears and no right click and/or key commands will select to copy/past the selected output.

Tried on both macOS FireFox and Chrome (latest versions) and therefore right click for copy or use the key’s cmd+c / cmd+c is not working for me. I

It’s kind of strange behavior for my system.

note: I’m still in the process of setting up the basic requirements for my set-up. Trying the basic tools I need in Home Assistant etc. for my setup, is a way to get to learn the system basics.

I really love Home Assistant so far!

Maybe for Ubuntu? That’s definitely not the standard on Linux.

Thanks for you suggestion: using ctrl+shift key combo it only selects te ‘hoovered’ text,

I only use Windows as second OS, so naming Linux was my bad. Testing in Ubuntu SynologY VMM, I indeed may but can’t use ctrl+shift+c / v despite the settings. Using the presented copy+paste action menu does work.
