copy messages in tty on linux/bsd

[brightersun99]

What do you want

The ability to copy and paste things on a tty on Linux or bsd.

Why

As a text based program, it is incomplete without this ability.

Implementation hints

This I am unsure about, although i've seen modern linux consoles being able to copy paste with mouse like in x.

How do other TUI apps do this?

@brightersun99 Knock Knock :D I'd love to get some input here.

iirc, copy pasting is non existent in the tty, people use tmux or other terminal multiplexers to copy paste.

Then this is a problem cordless can't solve. E.g. the solution is to to use tmux or smth like that.
