5.1 Horsepower

This problem is in no way unique to tmux. You have the same problem with any terminal app that takes over drawing, eg vim. That said it is also easy enough to fix.

The solution is OSC52, a terminal escape sequence that the emulator can use to interact with the system clipboard (kitty, alacritty, iterm2 all support this). The first step is to get you a script that writes out data in that protocol. Its easy enough:

    #!/usr/bin/env python3
    import os, base64, sys
    clip = base64.b64encode(sys.stdin.buffer.read())
    for pid in (os.getpid(), os.getppid()): # so that osc52-copy can be invoked by processes that themselves do not have a tty.
        cty = f"/proc/{pid}/fd/1"
        try:
            fd = os.open(cty, os.O_WRONLY)
            if os.isatty(fd):
                os.write(fd, b'\x1b]52;c;') # the actual escape sequence
                os.write(fd, clip)
                os.write(fd, b'\a')
                break
        except:
            continue
        finally:
            os.close(fd)
    else:
        raise SystemExit(f"no tty")

$ grep my_thing < some.txt | osc52-copy

And whatever got into osc52 is now on your system clipboard.

Tmux (set -g clipboard on) and nvim (unset clipboard) both have native osc52 support, and the script above can be used to integrate other places.

  $ cat test.sh
  #!/usr/bin/env bash -c "echo hello"
  $ ./test.sh
  /usr/bin/env: ‘bash -c "echo hello"’: No such file or directory
  /usr/bin/env: use -[v]S to pass options in shebang lines
  $ ./test.sh # with -S
  hello

Think of just the work that goes into having an assembly line customized for a specific form factor. To keep price, quality, and profit in line with their other phones I think the answer here is clearly yes.

Yes, this is what I said.

There is no nitrogen at all in natural gas.

Plants cannot use atmospheric nitrogen on their own. They depend on either bacteria or humans to create some usable form of nitrogen. Any carbon captured in a plant that depended on a fossil fuel source of nitrogen cannot be considered carbon neutral, unless you draw a useless system boundary.
