St – A simple terminal implementation for X

You can always use ssh and something like xclip or pbcopy.

Also, I always use mosh for ssh (when possible) so that I can recover my connection if I run into network issues. Since mosh works by synchronizing a virtual screen, I don't get scrollback at all without tmux or the like.

I just added a feature to tmux-git that makes the tmux clipboard propagate up into higher clipboards for nested tmux. https://github.com/tmux/tmux/commit/4ede35c48c089abe3fca0d94...

Keep in mind that your terminfo has to support this, so make sure your ncurses-term package is the latest release from Jan 28.

I also made a patch for st to support OSC 52 propagation into Xorg, but it was rejected by the st maintainers because it uses base64 (as the OSC de-facto spec from xterm dictates).

The patch for st is however in a branch of the Wayland-fork of st

Another option if you use nested copies of tmux is to use this feature to get the remote clipboard into the local one, then yank with xclip.

This. I like terminal scrollback but it's gone for me.
