Hi list,
The popular tmux software has implemented (in the master branch of its git
repo) some new functionality making use of some older xterm functionality
that hadn't been much used:
The ability to use the OSC 52 escape sequence to make the tmux clipboard
available to the outer terminal emulator. This means that the tmux
selection mode/clipboard can be shared back (even without any kind of
forwarding) to the local terminal emulator, which can then use that to set
the X or Wayland clipboard.
I have already implemented this in both the X and Wayland versions of
suckless's st (simple terminal) terminal emulator. I'd like to implement
it in the GNOME libvte widget as well, but before I bother writing a patch,
I'd like to know if this is a contribution you'd be willing to accept
(perhaps allowing it to be enabled as a preference).
Terminal Emulators supporting OSC 52 clipboard setting:
xterm
(u)rxvt
(patch pending approval on suckless-hackers mailing list) st (X version)
(available in the 'selection' branch) st (unofficial Wayland version)
(https://github.com/michaelforney/st/tree/selection)
mintty (for windows)
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Harry
