Transcript

0:00Keyboard-first, but the mouse is right there when you want it.

0:03Rysh has full mouse support built in. Let's walk through what it can do.

0:08Split into two panes. With the mouse, a single click on any pane focuses it instantly.

0:14Click and drag across text to select it. When you release the button, the selection is copied straight to your system clipboard.

0:24The mouse wheel scrolls the pane under your cursor, three lines per step, through the same scrollback buffer.

0:33Click to focus, drag to select, release to copy, wheel to scroll. The mouse and keyboard work together.

Key takeaway
Full mouse support -- focus, select-and-copy, and scroll -- complements the keyboard.
