While in xfce4-terminal, when I triple-click a line, I don't want to copy the newline. I have a hunch that the important setting is, cutNewline ; but I'm not sure how to configure.
I tried these lines in my ~/.Xresources file:
1.
XTerm*VT100.cutNewline: false
1. xterm-256color.cutNewline: false
(based on the guess that echo $TERM
gives xterm-256color
)
Then reboot; but both didn't work.
I also tried looking at xfconf-query like this:
$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-terminal -l -v
/misc-copy-on-select true
/misc-show-unsafe-paste-dialog false
/shortcuts-no-mnemonics true
Also, I search the https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/-/blob/master/terminal/terminal-preferences.c page for "newline"; but didn't find any xfce4-terminal preference.
Searching https://docs.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/usage page for "triple-click" does mention copying the line; but doesn't mention how to configure cutNewline setting.
Maybe I'm configuring at the wrong layer.
