Ah, I regret training myself into Caps Lock to Escape. Well, a personal problem then. It doesn't seem to have copy-paste support that I have in my Ghostty but I bet that's a config somewhere.

Get the best of both worlds by having it be Ctrl when held down + pressed with another key and Esc when you press and release it by itself.

Well, there's a fantastic idea. Apparently so many people are already in this better world: https://gist.github.com/tanyuan/55bca522bf50363ae4573d4bdcf0...

I have Karabiner Elements so I added it and it's amazing!

I tried this, but found it annoying that it will add a slight delay. Totally makes sense if you've been running on caps lock -> escape for a long time. I've bound caps lock -> ctrl and left ctrl -> escape.

Want to fix this, how do I reproduce? Select with mouse and cmd+c seems to work for me.

Oh thank you. Perhaps it's something in my Ghostty. Here's a gist to work with:

I'm on MacOS 15.7.4 on an M4 Max Macbook

Thanks for repro, taking a look!

Should be fixed in latest release (0.58.0). Please let me know if it's still an issue!
