Keymap with ctrl-shift-c

[peter-jerry-ye]

Hi,

I'm using helix in WSL. The Windows Terminal uses the Ctrl+Shift+C to copy things to clipboard, but in helix, it seems that it's interpreted as Ctrl+C which comments the chosen part. Is that the expected behaviour?

Thanks.

Helix uses y/space y to yank.

I know. But I expect to use the feature of Windows Terminal directly so that I don't have to install extra packages just for yanking.

space y will yank straight into windows clipboard.

Ctrl+Shift+C/Ctrl-C is just an input. It's up to the application to interpret it.

I tested with helix 22.08.1 and it didn't work, which expected because helix --health indicates

Clipboard provider: none
System clipboard provider: Not installed

Ctrl+Shift+C/Ctrl-C is just an input. It's up to the application to interpret it.

I assume the helix is the application we are talking about here? I mean, if I use Ctrl+Shift+C in nano or in bash or in top, I can use Ctrl+Shift+C directly because these applications do not consume this input and it is able to arrive at the Windows Terminal. In helix, however, this input is consumed and interpreted as Ctrl+C. So my question is if there's a way to avoid helix consume this input (since this does not correspond to any defined key bindings).

Helix 22.12.0 now has

Clipboard provider: termcode
System clipboard provider: termcode

and the space y works.
