Enable "Copy selection to Clipboard" by Default

It sounds to me like most users who don't really explore the depths of their client don't know how to change things work specifically for what they want. Enabling this feature would keep the feature consistent with most normal programs having ctrl+c as a copy feature. Most people don't even ask about it and are shocked to find out it exists. Allowed users who know more make the decision to change it to html or to not work. Keep it to a default that's consistent with most programs.

I think you misunderstand what that option does. In the default, unchecked, state, MUSHclient behaves like almost every other program I know of:

• You select some text
• If you want it on the clipboard, you press Ctrl+C (or use the menu)
• The selected text replaces whatever was on the clipboard

When checked, text is constantly copied to the clipboard whenever you make a selection. Whilst this saves one keystroke, it has various disadvantages:

• Frequent copying to the clipboard (ie. as you extend the selection a character at a time) slows things down
• There have been recent reports that the frequent, repeated, copies raise an error message, as Windows has trouble keeping up
• You may not *want* the clipboard replaced right now - for example you might select a URL and then right-click and choose "go to URL", this doesn't require the selection on the clipboard.

To be consistent with most programs you select text, and then manually copy it with Ctrl+C - this is the default right now.
