I have checked the following:

  • I have searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

This bug is:

  • Making Bruno unusable for me.
  • Slowing me down but I'm able to continue working.
  • Annoying.
  • This feature was working in a previous version but is broken in the current release.

Bruno version

4.1.0

Operating System

Windows

Specific OS Version / Distro

Windows 11 Pro

Describe the bug

The built-in Terminal panel (Console/Network/Performance/Terminal tabs at the bottom of the app) does not support copying text out of it via any method - no right-click context menu appears on selected text, and standard copy shortcuts do not copy terminal output to the OS clipboard. Pasting INTO the terminal only works via Ctrl+V; right-click paste does not work either.

This makes it impossible to copy command output (e.g. error messages, test results) out of the built-in terminal to share elsewhere, forcing use of an external terminal instead - which defeats the purpose of having an integrated one.

Possibly related to the Terminal panel's xterm.js integration not including a clipboard/context-menu addon (e.g. @xterm/addon-clipboard) - happy to be corrected if that's off base.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Bruno and open any collection
  2. Click the "Terminal" tab in the bottom panel
  3. Run any command that produces output (e.g. bru --version or dir)
  4. Select some of the output text
  5. Right-click on the selection - no context menu with a "Copy" option appears
  6. Try Ctrl+C on the selection - text is not copied to the OS clipboard
  7. Try right-clicking to paste something into the terminal input - no "Paste" option appears
  8. Ctrl+V does work to paste into the terminal input

Expected: standard terminal clipboard behavior - right-click copy on a selection, right-click paste, and/or copy/paste working consistently across input methods.

Actual: only Ctrl+V paste works; there is no way to copy text out of the panel by any method tried.

Collection to reproduce

Not collection-specific - this reproduces with any open collection, since it's a property of the app's built-in Terminal panel itself, not of any particular collection, request, or script.
