xsel and xclip require X11 forwarding to be enabled in SSH to work. And that's not all: I would have to update the $DISPLAY variable in remote tmux sessions every time I reattach them for xsel and xclip. In contrast, the set-clipboard functionality does not require X11 forwarding to be enabled and it also does not require any $DISPLAY variable synchronization. It "Just Works", at the terminal level. Since tmux already provides the set-clipboard functionality in the `copy-mode` command, extending this functionality to the `setb` and `loadb` commands would give me an easy and consistent way to copy text from any shell within tmux to the (remotely) attached terminal. Thanks for your consideration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
