Tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard
Notes and workarounds for accessing the Mac OS X pasteboard in tmux sessions. Note: The pu branch (“Proposed Updates”) may be rewound without notice.
Quick Summary
- Using the Mac OS X programs pbpaste and pbcopy under tmux does not work. Other services and unpatched builds of screen are also affected.
- Certain undocumented, private API functions can fix the problem.
- Because the functions are private, undocumented, and unstable (one acquired an extra argument in 10.6), I think using a small wrapper program might be better than patching tmux.
