I am using the w3m text browser through WSL, on my Windows 11 machine.

I cannot select any text (for copy/paste using the Windows clipboard) shown by w3m. Neither works on Windows Terminal nor the traditional conhost. Copy/paste works in general terminal sessions (using wsl or cmd) but just not in w3m.

Any way to fix this?

w3m enables the mouse reporting mode in your terminal, so that you could directly click on links or scroll the displayed page. While in this mode, most terminal apps let you hold Shift to select text on the terminal layer (without passing clicks through to the program).
