16 | <description><p>I use <code>ssh</code> a lot. Copying text from the remote machine to | ||
17 | the host machine always sucked. But OSC-52 makes that easy.</p> | ||
18 | <p>OSC-52 is an ANSI escape sequence to write text to the terminal | ||
19 | emulator. The terminal emulator, if it understands what is going on, | ||
20 | will in turn write this text to the system clipboard.</p> | ||
21 | <p>What this means is some <code>printf</code> magic can send text to | ||
22 | your clipboard. I store this one-liner in a script called | ||
23 | <code>oclip</code>:</p> | ||
24 | <div class="sourceCode" id="cb1"><pre | ||
25 | class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span id="cb1-1"><a href="#cb1-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="bu">printf</span> <span class="st">&quot;\033]52;c;%s\007&quot;</span> <span class="st">&quot;</span><span class="va">$(</span><span class="fu">base64</span> <span class="op">&lt;&amp;</span><span class="dv">0</span><span class="va">)</span><span class="st">&quot;</span></span></code></pre></div> | ||
26 | <p>and I run it with:</p> | ||
27 | <div class="sourceCode" id="cb2"><pre | ||
28 | class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span id="cb2-1"><a href="#cb2-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="ex">remote</span> $ cat some_file.txt <span class="kw">|</span> <span class="ex">oclip</span></span> | ||
29 | <span id="cb2-2"><a href="#cb2-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a></span> | ||
30 | <span id="cb2-3"><a href="#cb2-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="co"># some_file.txt&#39;s contents are now the host&#39;s clipboard</span></span></code></pre></div> | ||
31 | <h3 id="the-catch">The catch</h3> | ||
32 | <p>Your terminal emulator must support OSC-52, <code>alacritty</code> | ||
33 | and <code>termux</code> seem to support this out of the box. In | ||
34 | <code>st</code>, OSC-52 works with this change to | ||
35 | <code>config.h</code>:</p> | ||
36 | <pre><code>int allowwindowops = 1;</code></pre> | ||
37 | <p>If you are using <code>tmux</code>, you need to flip this switch | ||
38 | on:</p> | ||
39 | <pre><code>set -s set-clipboard on</code></pre> | ||
40 | <p>If you are inside <code>nvim</code>, it may work as expected as long | ||
41 | as <code>$SSH_TTY</code> is set. I sometimes physically start a session, | ||
42 | and <code>ssh</code> into the same session later from another machine, | ||
43 | and <code>$SSH_TTY</code> remains unset, so I force OSC-52 in | ||
44 | <code>nvim</code> at all times (see <a | ||
45 | href="https://neovim.io/doc/user/provider.html#clipboard-osc52">nvimdoc</a>):</p> | ||
