Perhaps by default don't copy to the Ctrl-V clipboard on selection?

Hi, I'm new to wezterm, and it looks great!

I was surprised to discover that when I select something it's automatically copied to the clipboard. I'm used for it to be copied to the "primary selection", so I can paste it by a middle-click, but it was very inconvenient to me to find out that what I copied using Ctrl-C is now unavailable.

It took me some time to change this. I found this answer, which actually wasn't good enough since it still copied to the clipboard what I selected with a double-click.

How about changing the default, to only copy to the primary selection and not to the clipboard? I think this is the behavior that most users expect, and I guess some users won't go to the trouble of finding out how to change the configuration but just go away from wezterm, which is a shame.

For anyone interested, here's my configuration:

local act = wezterm.action

config.mouse_bindings = {
  { event = { Up = { streak = 1, button = "Left" } }, mods = "NONE", action = act.CompleteSelectionOrOpenLinkAtMouseCursor("PrimarySelection") },
  { event = { Up = { streak = 1, button = "Left" } }, mods = "SHIFT", action = act.CompleteSelectionOrOpenLinkAtMouseCursor("PrimarySelection") },
  { event = { Up = { streak = 1, button = "Left" } }, mods = "ALT", action = act.CompleteSelection("PrimarySelection") },
  { event = { Up = { streak = 2, button = "Left" } }, mods = "NONE", action = act.CompleteSelection("PrimarySelection") },
  { event = { Up = { streak = 3, button = "Left" } }, mods = "NONE", action = act.CompleteSelection("PrimarySelection") },
}

Thanks a lot!
