add support for zellij

[hbiel]

Hey @ojroques!

First of all thank you for creating this plugin. I would love to make use of it in my configuration.

I'm using Zellij as my terminal multiplexer though and it seems to need a different sequence than e.g. tmux. Would you be able to look into this and add support for it?

Here is a sequence I found in their repository: https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/blob/67d2673cae60954e8287c2a1f58a21a56e066afb/zellij-server/src/tab/clipboard.rs#L34
Unfortunately I don't know how to read and implement this sequence exactly myself.

Best Regards!

Hello!

I read that in the config of Zelliji:

# Provide a command to execute when copying text. The text will be piped to
# the stdin of the program to perform the copy. This can be used with
# terminal emulators which do not support the OSC 52 ANSI control sequence
# that will be used by default if this option is not set.

(source)

So first does OSC52 work outside of Vim when you copy text in Zelliji? And what terminal emulator do you use?

Thank you for your quick response!

I'm on Windows and use Windows Terminal, mainly using a wsl distribution. This is how I'm copying text from Zellij so far:

1. Select text via mouse
2. On release of the button the message "Text copied to clipboard" gets printed
3. I can paste the copied text in Windows

I didn't set any copy command in the configuration so I think OSC52 is used and working.

So I've tried using the sequence from your link but it does not work. I suspect that Zelliji does not forward escape sequence from applications yet. There is a related issue already zellij-org/zellij#1199.

Ah, I see. I didn't know about this. Thanks for pointing it out.
Should this issue stay open then? Are there possible changes you need to make once Zellij supports forwarding?

[ojroques]

Yes it can stay open. I don't think any change will be necessary but we'll see.

After zellij-org/zellij#1644 this have been solved, I think this issue can be closed and shouldn't be opened in the first place :-(

Great!
