What
Claude Code now responds to more mouse buttons when you release them:
- Right-click on Windows, WSL and Linux copies the text you have selected, or pastes from the clipboard if nothing is selected.
- Middle-click on Linux pastes the primary selection, which is the text you most recently highlighted.
Why
This brings Claude Code's fullscreen mode closer to how most terminals already handle the mouse, so copying and pasting work the way you would expect.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
It is not clear whether this mouse paste behaviour is switched on for every user.
