For a regular surface 3 tablet, how do I highlight or select text in the console so that it's copied to the clipboard?

With a mouse it's easy enough. However, no mouse for a tablet.

I enabled the "quick edit" on the console window so this should be do-able.

You can copy & paste using right-click in most shells in Windows 10. A press-and-hold is right-click on Surface-devices.

This means you can highlight the desired text by simply dragging over it with your finger. Then press-and-hold the highlighted text. Afterwards you can paste your copied text by press-and-holding again.

I just tested this in a regular CMD and PowerShell terminal on my Surface Pro 4, using Windows 10.
