the various methods for copying and pasting, how they work,
and the best methods for doing so over SSH.
# OSC 52 (terminal clipboard)
If possible, setting the `clipboard` option to `terminal` will give
best results because it will work over SSH and locally. However, there
is limited support among terminal emulators for the terminal clipboard
(which uses the OSC 52 protocol to communicate clipboard contents).
Here is a list of terminal emulators and their status:
* Kitty: supported, but only writing is enabled by default. To enable
reading, add `read-primary` and `read-clipboard` to the
`clipboard_control` option.
* iTerm2: supported, but must be enabled in
`Preferences->General-> Selection->Applications in terminal may access clipboard`.
* `st`: supported.
* `rxvt-unicode`: not natively supported, but there is a Perl extension
[here](http://anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/*/Code/urxvt/).
* `xterm`: supported, but disabled by default. It can be enabled by putting
the following in `.Xresources` or `.Xdefaults`:
`XTerm*disallowedWindowOps: 20,21,SetXprop`.
* `gnome-terminal`: does not support OSC 52.
**Summary:** If you want copy and paste to work over SSH, then you
should set `clipboard` to `terminal`, and make sure your terminal
supports OSC 52.
# Pasting
## Recommendations (TL;DR)
The recommended method of pasting is the following:
* If you are not working over SSH, use the micro keybinding (Ctrl-v
by default) to perform pastes. If on Linux, install `xclip` or
`xsel` beforehand.
* If you are working over SSH, use the terminal keybinding
(Ctrl-Shift-v or Command-v) to perform pastes. If your terminal
does not support bracketed paste, when performing a paste first
