         | Last time I tried textual, my users couldn't put anything in
         | the clipboard from their mouse selection.

           | If Textual is mouse aware (like Midnight Commander for
           | example), you probably need to do it while the Shift key is
           | pressed. If you prefer using the keyboard you can also use
           | Shift+Control+C for copy and Shift+Control+V for paste.

         | 
         | HN is against editorialized/clickbait headlines and moderators
         | fix it right away, much to the confusion of readers.
         | 
         | If I didn't already know what Textual was, and the title didn't
         | mention it, I might have read past this awesome library.

         | Agreed--especially because Textual is also popular IRC software
         | for macOS.
