Kitty Clipboard Integration Over SSH and Tmux
from Blink286 Hosted by Free Debreuil
The sources provide a detailed technical guide focused on achieving seamless copy-paste functionality between a local Kitty terminal on macOS and a remote Linux session, especially over SSH. The text first explains the basic clipboard behavior when connecting directly, highlighting the use of standard shortcuts and local tools like pbcopy on the Mac side. A large section is dedicated to configuring the terminal multiplexer tmux to work with the system clipboard by enabling the OSC 52 escape sequence, which allows the remote server to send copy commands to the local terminal. Finally, the text explores Kitty-specific features such as the kitty +kitten clipboard utility and the kitty +kitten ssh wrapper, which automate the setup and provide advanced, reliable methods for transferring clipboard data, including security considerations for remote access.
