I'm using Windows Terminal with pwsh. In the recent version (0.0.413 - 2026-02-20), there is a changelog shown ctrl+insert can now be used to copy selected text in the alt-screen view.

I was just need to select a range of text to copy text. Right now, I have to hit ctrl+c or ctrl+insert to COPY.

I was just need to paste text by simple hit right-click of my mouse. Right now, I have to hit ctrl+v or shift+insert to PASTE.

When I use the mouse to copy text, it is likely that I also want to use the mouse to paste the text. Is it possible to go back to previous setting?

Also, when I copy a non-English text. It might be paste with some garbled text. See below:
