Support for ANSI OSC 52? #206

Open notrev opened 5 years ago

notrev commented 5 years ago

Does ROXTerm currently supports ANSI OSC 52 escape sequence?

I currently can't copy/yank things from a remote server via SSH + tmux running on the remote machine into my local clipboard. I have read that it is possible to have it working with ANSI OSC 52.

I have tried it with this command in the remote machine: printf "\033]52;c;$(printf "%s" "blabla" | base64)\a"

It should put "blabla" into my local clipboard, but it does not happen.

This sounds well worth supporting, but it needs to be handled by vte I think, so I've raised an issue for it on GNOME's gitlab, but just been told they already had an issue for it on their old bugzilla. Apparently there are security risks.

This is now supported in the osc52-vte branch. It requires vte to be patched. The patch is not likely to be accepted upstream and I don't want to have to maintain a fork of vte indefinitely, so this branch will remain experimental for now. I do have an alternative plan, but it involves a "shim", which isn't ideal for efficiency.
