## Terminal Config & Tricks

To change *Copy/Paste* action on Windows Terminal change these commands within *Setting.json* 

This is needed when using *Neovim in WSL2* otherwise, *Visual Block* will not work as intended

```json
"action": "copy",
"singleLine": false
"keys": "ctrl+shift+c"
"command": "paste",
"keys": "ctrl+shift+v"
