The SIMBL plug-in for Terminal.app allows users to copy selected text for free.
The installation process is straightforward and broken down into four simple steps. First, you'll need to install SIMBL if you haven't already done so. Then, you can download the zipped plugin file from the official website and expand it. Next, copy the extracted file, "TerminalCopyOnSelect.bundle," to the plugin directory located at ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/. Finally, make sure to terminate all processes of Terminal.app and restart it.
Once installed, you'll be able to easily select and copy text from the terminal just by releasing your mouse button. This saves time and makes it easier to work with Terminal.app, especially for those who work with text on a regular basis. Overall, TerminalCopyOnSelect is a must-have for anyone looking to improve their Terminal.app workflow.
