From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anything, but with tmux running inside. You can copy text even in a tty, split the terminal window, detach from and attach to tmux sessions, etc. I will never use a terminal for any moderately complex task without tmux again :)
i never got the copy part right, what configs are you using?
also, can you copy from a remote (ssh) tmux?
Copying in tmux (assuming default keybindings):
By 'copy', I meant between different tmux panes/windows.
If you open tmux on your host, split it into two panes and SSH into the server in one of them, then you can use this copy functionality. I'm personally not aware of a way to copy between a remote and local tmux session.
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.confor use your favorite cli clipboard command. Note that those are using the vi bindings; you might have to adapt the config.
