Re:Yank: Yank Terminal Output to Clipboard by jeduardo on Sunday March 28, 2021 @10:23AM (#26610628)
Hey, that's quite interesting. Just tested it here with alacritty and was able to get data from a remote server into the clipboard. The downside here is that it did not seem to work immediately from inside tmux, but a quick search shows that there are ways to make it work. Also found a vim-plugin[1] that would allow it to work from inside vim as well. If I can also find a way to pipe random commands to it, it might indeed work better than clipper for my use cases. Finally, there is the added benefit of removing the need to forward the local UNIX socket over SSH, which I find to be a bit flaky. Thanks for sharing it!
