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.

I'm reconsidering my terminal emulator and was curious what everyone was using.

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.conf

bind-key -T copy-mode-vi y send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "xsel -i -b"
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi Enter send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "xsel -i -b"

or use your favorite cli clipboard command. Note that those are using the vi bindings; you might have to adapt the config.
