2024-10-02 Copy from ssh session
================================

I wrote myself the following fish function that uses OSC 52 as
explained by jdhao in order to copy text from within a ssh session
into the local (client-side) clipboard. OSC stands for Operating
System Command.

    function ssh-copy --description 'Copy text to the local clipboard'
        read -z -l input
        printf "\033]52;c;"
        printf "%s" $input | base64
        printf "\a"
    end

I need to install this for every remote account, of course, because it
has to exist on the remote end. Use funced --save ssh-copy to do it.

Here's an example of how to use it:

    alex@melanobombus ~> ssh sibirocobombus
    This is the server.
    You have new mail.
    alex@sibirocobombus ~> echo hello | ssh-copy
    alex@sibirocobombus ~> exit
    Connection to alexschroeder.ch closed.
    alex@melanobombus ~> wl-paste
    hello
    

wl-paste and wl-copy are from the wl-clipboard package for Wayland.
