# Fix: select-to-copy failing under code-server (web terminal).
# Herdr captures pane mouse input (mouse_capture=true default) and, with the
# default copy_on_select=true, auto-copies each drag/double-click selection to
# the clipboard via OSC 52. In a web terminal (code-server) that OSC 52 write
# does not reliably reach the viewing machine's real clipboard (herdr #2015
# clipboard routing is scoped to VS Code Remote Tunnels, NOT code-server, so
# 0.7.4 here is on the broken path). Setting mouse_capture=false hands the
# mouse back to xterm.js, restoring native select/copy. Trade-off: herdr's
# right-click context menu and click-to-focus pane features are disabled.
