## Summary Fixes [CODAGT-415](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/CODAGT-415). Right-clicking selected text in the web terminal on Windows (and Linux) showed the browser's image actions ("Copy image", "Save image as") instead of copy/paste. The terminal uses xterm.js with the canvas/WebGL renderer, so the underlying element is a `<canvas>`, which Chromium and Firefox treat as an image. xterm.js tries to retarget the menu by moving a hidden textarea under the cursor, but on Windows and Linux the browser's own non-native context menu locks onto the canvas before that workaround lands. ## Change Wrap the terminal in the shared Radix `ContextMenu` so right-click shows a custom **Copy** / **Paste** menu instead of the browser default: - **Copy** reuses the existing copy-on-select clipboard path (`getSelection()` + `copyToClipboard`). It is disabled when there is no selection. - **Paste** reads the clipboard and uses xterm's `paste()`, which respects bracketed-paste mode. - The menu is gated to non-macOS (`disabled={isMac()}` on the trigger). macOS renders native context menus that already expose working copy/paste across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, so its default is left untouched. ## Platform scope | Platform | Behavior | | --- | --- | | Windows (Chromium / Firefox) | Custom Copy/Paste menu (fixes the bug) | | Linux (Chromium / Firefox) | Custom Copy/Paste menu | | macOS (Chrome / Firefox / Safari) | Native menu preserved (already works) | ## Testing - `TerminalPage.test.tsx`: on non-macOS, right-click suppresses the native menu and shows the Copy/Paste menu; on macOS the native menu is preserved. - `TerminalPage.stories.tsx`: new `RightClickMenu` story opens the menu via a `play` function for real-browser and visual coverage. - `tsc`, `biome`, and `make pre-commit` (gen/fmt/lint/build) pass locally. <details> <summary>Decision log</summary> - The issue was originally reported as Windows-only. Hands-on testing confirmed macOS is not affected: Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on macOS all show a working copy/paste menu. The difference is the menu implementation: macOS uses native OS context menus (which pick up xterm's repositioned textarea), while Chromium/Firefox on Windows and Linux draw their own menu that targets the `<canvas>` directly. - Root cause is the canvas/WebGL renderer plus the unreliability of xterm's textarea-repositioning workaround on non-native menus, not the operating system itself. - A custom menu (rather than just `preventDefault`) was chosen so users keep an explicit copy/paste affordance on the affected platforms. A bare `preventDefault` removes the menu entirely. - Scope is gated to non-macOS to avoid regressing the working native menu on macOS. Rejected alternatives: suppressing/replacing on all platforms (regresses macOS), and Windows-only (misses Linux, which shares the same non-native menu). </details> --- Generated by Coder Agents on behalf of @jaaydenh.
Coder is a self-hosted platform for cloud development environments and AI coding agents. Workspaces are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used. Coder Agents runs a native AI coding agent whose loop executes in the control plane on your infrastructure, with no API keys in workspaces.
- Define cloud development environments in Terraform
- EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
- Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
- Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
- Delegate coding work to AI agents on your infrastructure
- Bring any model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, self-hosted)
- No LLM credentials in workspaces, user identity on every action
- Centralized model governance, cost tracking, and audit logging
Quickstart
The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).
# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server
# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace
Install
The easiest way to install Coder is to use the
install script for Linux
and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub
Releases.
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.
See install for additional methods.
Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:
# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server
# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. See the install guides for a complete tutorial.
