Select and paste over

[avelino]

Cannot overwrite selected text with copy and paste

• code-server version: master branch
• OS Version: Ubuntu

Steps to Reproduce

1. Copy (CMD+C) any text to clipboard
2. Select text any input (editor or text fields), per example CMD+A
3. Paste (CMD+V) clipboard

I also have the problem. Because the text selected will be copy, the origin clipboard was replace.
Even change setting is still unhelpful:
"editor.copyWithSyntaxHighlighting": false,
"editor.emptySelectionClipboard": false

Thanks, working set 3 config

"editor.copyWithSyntaxHighlighting": false,
"editor.emptySelectionClipboard": false,
"editor.selectionClipboard": false,

Commenting in here. Why do we need to add these 3 configs? Vanilla VSCode doesn't have copy-on-select enabled. Why does code-server? Extremely confusing and frustrating

Is VSCode config not code-server config

Maybe this should be left open until the default behavior is to NOT copy on select? Or is the current default the expected behavior?
