This has come up before and we decided not to go with it because of the extra complexity it brings mainly around settings clutter. The good news is this month we're looking into making mouse input customizable which this would fit with perfectly, let's reconsider after #3130, feel free to make an issue to track it. |

Reopening for #187365 to see how difficult it is to update this branch. |

This PR fixes no existing issue - but I can create a feature request if you want me to 😃 .
GUIs on UNIX-like systems using X11 (or Wayland) have two clipboards:
If you are not on one of those platforms, the second one can be simulated by the application. It can be enabled in iterm2 on Mac OS, for example. The only limitation is that there is only one clipboard that is used for both types of copy/paste.
As vscode already supports half of it with the setting
terminal.integrated.copyOnSelection, I thought it might make sense to also support the other half.The configuration setting could be a boolean, but was made to look consistent to the existing
terminal.integrated.rightClickBehavior.Fixes #187365
