Shift+Click to select

[ParadaCarleton]

At the moment, shift+click doesn't do anything for me on my computer, even though I'd expect it to select everything between the current cursor location and the place where I clicked.

It should be possible to implement a plugin providing this feature.

Although you might not be able to bind it to shift+click, if your terminal intercepts it, so you might need to bind it to something else, e.g. alt-click.

It works fine on edit, so it should be possible (at least on Konsole). (Which does remind me, is there a reason ctrl+shift doesn't work at all in micro, even for sequences that don't have keybindings?)

This question was answered so many times.

Does ctrl+shift work for you in any other terminal application?

Yes—most text editors allow it for me, and so do file managers like Yazi. After a bit of searching, I'm guessing the difference is micro doesn't support KKP yet?

+1 to shift +click to select or any sort of mark text.

This issue is next up on my slate to try to support a(caveat as only a hobbyist contributor)

No it doesn't. Micro is using tcell library, there are or were plans to add KKP support to it: gdamore/tcell#671 but it hasn't been done yet.
