in thread (WIN) copy and pasting from Perl-prints inside cmd.exe

To make it even more complicated Windows has a full flegded Terminal app now - with tabs and everything, which behaves differently to the old cmd.exe window. For instance, the terminal supports wide unicode code points, the regular shell doesn't.

Re^5: (WIN) copy and pasting from Perl-prints inside cmd.exe (Terminal App workaround)

    Hi

    I installed the (still beta) "Terminal app" from Microsoft store.*

    Running the debugger in either PS or CMD.exe mode didn't show the problems described in the OP.

    Also running a console emacs -nw didn't seem to be any problem. :)

    Tho finding out how to cut and paste wasn't easy (left mouse select and right click for copy was the only way)°

    Anyway thanks! :)
