Refered to this post, I had set export LESS='-riF --mouse --wheel-lines=3', and solved the scrolling problem, but I coundn't select any charaters on the screen except pressing SHIFT button.

This is inconvenient，can anyone help me solve this?

I use it in WSL, zsh.

Same question. I think this is probably due to how Windows Terminal handles text selection, but I'd prefer to be able to select text even if scrolling will deselect it. The Shift button workaround isn't really viable because once any selection exists you cannot deselect so every future click becomes a text selection modification, rather than a new selection. – Slbox Aug 08 '23 at 21:31
