Text Selection

Textual apps capture the mouse, so normal click-drag selection won't work by default. To select and copy text from any pane:

  1. Hold Shift while clicking and dragging — this bypasses Textual's mouse capture and lets your terminal handle selection natively.
  2. Copy with your terminal's shortcut (Cmd+C on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+C on most Linux terminals).

Log Pane Scrolling

The log pane uses auto_scroll=False. New output only scrolls to the bottom when you are already at the bottom of the log. If you've scrolled up to read earlier output, it stays in place.

Screenshots

Ctrl+S saves an SVG screenshot to the screenshots/ directory with a timestamped filename. Open the SVG in any browser to view it.
