I like my tools like I like my partners: doing clear and honest communication with unicode box drawing characters

@fasterthanlime While this looks cool, it also makes it more difficult to just slam the mouse pointer across the install commands and copy them line-wise.

The box will be copied alongside the commands and you can’t just paste and run them. You need to be much more precise with your selection (or type it out), which is tricky for patience-challenged brains.

@calisti the bottom one is an all-in-one. no copy/paste problems

@calisti hopefully your terminal has double-click / triple-click to select things like that?

@fasterthanlime I usually just click and drag to select the entire line. Needs the least precision.
Double / triple click has too often selected more or less than I want.

@calisti I wish you could use box drawing characters, but mention them as to be excluded from the clipboard. That would be great.

@fasterthanlime In Wezterm at least I know you can change the considered characters when determining what's part of a word or not!
But you could also make a custom triple click action to only select between these chars 🤔

@bew ahhh wezterm. where everything is customizable and every default is shit.

@fasterthanlime well it kinda forces you to customize it ^^' But yeah I had to change a few options to match my style of setup
