Any plans on porting to wayland?
i'm reading this issue and this thread as i'm looking into migrate to wayland, since sooner or later we'll apparently have (i know this won't be very soon, but wayland is more and more mainstream). I know "any update on this?" is very annoying, and that's why i'm not open an issue, but... Any update on this?

selecting menu options without releasing right click
I guess, it's not supported at the moment or you'll have to do some hacks.. There is this issue (#3777) with the same problem.

A linux newbie has installed and configured Arch. Minimalist graphical capabilities?
I use the Awesome Window Manager. At it's core, it's a little difficult to figure out. But once you get the hang of assigning hot keys and whatnot, You'll be able to use it more fluently. I use it on all 3 of my machines (two desktops and one laptop). I Love it! I copy my configs from the machine I started it with and put them on the other 2 machines. Works great!

Let's See Your Terminal
This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Aftermath of switching from VSCode to Neovim
All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.

Clipboards, Terminals, and Linux
I've recently switched to Neovim, and with it begun using the terminal mouse support. But, this has the side-effect that I can't just click-and-drag to select text in the terminal anymore -- Neovim controls that as well.
