I don’t get you people. Proper copy/paste support is “extended functionality”? I beg to differ. This is basic functionality.
And no, single line copy/paste as offered by nano, or copy and paste through the terminal is not proper copy/paste.

Doesn’t matter if it’s not “proper” if it works.

Nano has proper copy/pate, it works identical to any text editor. Mark -> copy/cut -> paste

this functionality is only bloated and complicated for the person using a terminal a couple of times a year. i say that while looking like this when i see any editor but vim used: but i know my co-worker looks at me like this, because he knows he only ever uses vi:
