I’m reconsidering my terminal emulator and was curious what everyone was using.

    ah yes sorry i meant copy to system clipboard.

    i succeed in configuring vim so it uses the system clipboard on both local and remote sessions.

    i would like to do the same with tmux, but as you said too, it does not seem to be a way.

    • You absolutely can. You just have to use a clipboard command as the copy/paste. Add this to your ~/.tmux.conf

      bind-key -T copy-mode-vi y send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "xsel -i -b"
      bind-key -T copy-mode-vi Enter send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "xsel -i -b"
      

      or use your favorite cli clipboard command. Note that those are using the vi bindings; you might have to adapt the config.
