(I am resending the email with better formatting):
The following command works well in the command line and copies a string to
two X-window targets:
* echo "Hello world" | tee >(xclip -i -selection primary) >(xclip -i
-selection clipboard) >/dev/null
The following two tmux binding commands work well too:
* bind-key -n -t emacs-copy M-w copy-pipe "xclip -i -selection primary"
* bind-key -n -t emacs-copy M-w copy-pipe "xclip -i -selection clipboard"
But the following tmux binding command which is supposed to copy a
selection to two targets doesn't:
* bind-key -n -t emacs-copy M-w copy-pipe "tee >(xclip -i -selection
primary) >(xclip -i -selection clipboard) >/dev/null"
Why?
More generally, is there a better way to copy a string to two X window
targets?
