I've been using wezterm for around a year, and sponsoring Wez on github, and it's been a fantastic terminal and he's a great developer. One of the things I love most about it, which the article mentions it is not going into, is the quick copy and other copy modes. I use them All. The. Time. C-S-Space and type the letters that appear next to the item you want to copy.

One big use case I have is: mosh+tmux-like functionality from my macos laptop to my work Linux machine. I always have a session running so I can do things on my work machine from my Mac. It gives a re-connectable session plus panes and tabs so I can do work when I'm away from my desk. It's top notch.

One really cool feature of the quick copy mode is that if you do the uppercase version of the letters it will automatically paste the value back into the terminal prompt.

Agreed, I use that for probably 80% of my copies. Also works in the regular select, if you "Y" instead of "y" it yanks and pastes.
