README
A utility for copying content to the system clipboard from anywhere via a TTY and terminal using the ANSI OSC52 sequence. It works in any terminal session, whether local, remote (e.g. SSH), or even nested therein!
Refer to tty-copy(1) for usage information.
Supported Terminals
Here is a non-exhaustive list of the status of popular terminal emulators regarding OSC52 [1]:
| Terminal | OSC 52 support |
|---|---|
yes | |
yes | |
yes | |
yes | |
GNOME Terminal (and other VTE-based terminals) | |
yes | |
yes | |
yes (since 24.12) | |
yes (to be confirmed) | |
yes | |
no, but see workaround | |
yes | |
yes (with a script, see here) | |
yes |
Requirements
Runtime:
-
UNIX-like system
Build:
-
C compiler and linker supporting at least C99 (tested with clang and gcc)
-
Asciidoctor (for building man pages)
Installation
On Fedora
Install package tty-copy from the Fedora repositories (since Fedora 35):
dnf install tty-copyUsing Pre-Built Binary
-
Download and verify tty-copy binary for your CPU architecture (pick the right link from the list above), for example:
curl -sSLO https://github.com/jirutka/tty-copy/releases/download/v0.2.2/tty-copy.x86_64-linux curl -sSL https://github.com/jirutka/tty-copy/releases/download/v0.2.2/checksums.txt | sha256sum -c --ignore-missing -
Install
tty-copysomewhere on yourPATH, e.g./usr/local/bin:install -m 755 tty-copy.* /usr/local/bin/tty-copy
All binaries are statically linked with musl libc, so they work on every Linux system (distro) regardless of used libc.
