I wish there was a tool that allowed me to send my clipboard to a server and anytime I sent something to the clipboard it checks the ssh hosts file for the config and sends it off. I'd like to 'paste' on any other machine with an ssh command.

This is interesting, I'd like something like that as well. I'm doing some experimentation with something sort of along these lines via WebRTC.

I keep a cobbled together version of something like this in my rc files. The ui mimics macOS’s pbcopy/pbpaste commands (it degrades gracefully on linux boxes too by falling back to xsel if available, and then to a tmp file for use on headless servers). The special sauce is that you can put a server name from your ssh config on the end of a pbcopy or pbpaste command so you can do stuff like run `echo hello | pbcopy server2` on server1, after which doing `pbpaste` from server2 would print 'hello'. You can also do this in the other direction with pbpaste, eg from server2 you can run `pbpaste server1` and it'll print out the contents of server1's clipboard. The current setup is a bit coupled to my rc files, but if there's interest would be glad to refactor a bit and toss it on github

  yep, I want this and you're half way there!

    what's the missing half? file transfer?

      I'd like to do this with a client/server routine where the server will spit out to any client connected with a tunnel

      YOU put this together! I've just realised. What a dude! Great rally.

Though not exactly the same, I did create a project for easy sharing of clipboard https://github.com/krishnaraj/oneclipboard https://github.com/krishnaraj/oneclipboard. Lost interest after background Clipboard access was restricted in Android 10 or something.

I use https://github.com/BlakeWilliams/remote-development-manager https://github.com/BlakeWilliams/remote-development-manager for this, which works by running a server and forwarding its socket over the SSH connection. If you’re willing to add some aliases and editor/ssh config you can easily get a UX that feels like a unified clipboard across remote hosts. My favorite use is integrating the yank buffer of remote vim processes with my local system clipboard.

OSC 52 can do that, even for iPhone Blink terminal
