[Feature Request] Support of Hyper-V enhanced session mode to allow copy/paste and text selection with mouse via Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection

Is there packages to install to support mouse integration to select text and copy/paste integration when accessing Mariner 2.0 via Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection ?

You need the Hyper-V Mouse interactivity driver installed in the kernel. It's possible to enable it by modifying the currently running kernel config file and doing a reboot. But this really should be enabled in the WSL2 kernel, which Mariner uses, with a few extra configurations. I personally enable this option myself when building a new kernel from WSL2 kernel repo.

I would like to configure a decent text mode console access to Mariner 2.0 though Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection.

I have currently the following loaded modules :

Copy/Paste : Not working
Scrolling : Not working
Mouse support : Not working
Text selection : Not working
Hyper-V Enhanced session mode : Not working

I was also facing issue with copy/pasting with virt-manager.
I found a work around with serial console.

Serial console can be enabled as mentioned in link
systemctl enable serial-getty@ttyS0.service

Post that if you are using kvm then using virsh command serial console can be accessed via terminal.

To start virtual machine with console

virsh start --console name_of_virtual_machine

To connect to already started virtual machine

virsh console name_of_virtual_machine

Another way would be to enable ssh
