<p dir="auto">How about having some kind of insert mode , such that screen can be abstracted as text and we can select some text from anywhere?</p>
<p dir="auto">So , say I am doing git pull , it failed throwing error that "error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:"</p>
<p dir="auto">Now I want to get the name of that file I have to use mouse to go up and copy and paste the file name , instead if I have some kind of insert mode , the terminal will behave as text and I can move my cursor up , select and copy relevant line, press some kind of escape sequence and paste the copied text in next command.</p>
<p dir="auto">This is Quick Edit mode / Mark mode in command line</p>
<p dir="auto">This will only be an issue for users in Enterprise environments where there are tight firewall controls.</p>
<p dir="auto">I don't have access to the Windows Store and I downloaded Windows Terminal from the GitHub page. I installed the required runtimes and was able to launch the app, only to be contacted by network security about alerts coming from my PC. After explaining what I was doing, they said they would submit a ticket for a false positive, but in the meantime I cannot use the application at all without triggering more alerts. If someone who is not familiar with my case is on duty, then I get calls again.</p>
<p dir="auto">Rather than having issues like this, it is better if Microsoft approaches a few major security vendors with details about Windows Terminal so that they can work out the kinks in their rules. This would avoid issues when trying to do the product launch next year.</p>
