Is an intended side-effect that if you have the global "All typing goes to command window" option enabled, using ctrl+c to copy highlighted text does not work?

Yes, it is intentional. Ctrl+C comes under the category of "all typing".

The reason for the option in the first place was some users were commenting that if the focus was in the command window (eg. after selecting text) and they typed something, the typing was discarded because the focus was not in the command window. MUSHclient traps some of those (eg. straight letters) even with that option unchecked. However things like Ctrl+C might apply to either window.

If it annoys you uncheck the option. You can always move the focus to the command window with a single keystroke - Tab.

Thanks, I'd prefer that CTRL+C didn't count as part of "all typing" but it's not really an issue. I just wanted you to be aware of the behavior in case it wasn't intended.

Some users don't check their posts before making them. :)

You are right, of course.
