How did copy-pasting text between programs fit in the initial shell design ? You can't paste from a remote tmux to a local one, you can't mouse-copy multiple lines from a vim vertical split, etc. Where's the terminal clipboard that works across programs ?
- _kst_ 2y agoYou can (usually) run your remote tmux in a window in your local tmux session; then you can use the local tmux session's copy/paste features. I commonly run "ssh remote-system" in a tmux window, then attach to a tmux session on the remote system. If you nest tmux sessions like this, you have to type the prefix character (Ctrl-B by default; I use Ctrl-Space) twice for the nested session to see it.
