Thanks! The osc52 helper indeed works fine for Alacritty -> SSH -> screen 4.09.00. I regularly use nested screens (local+remote), and then the helper doesn't work anymore. I got it working again like this: # sed -E -e 's:^:\x1bP:' -e 's:$:\x1b\\:' | \ sed -E -e 's:^:\x1bP\x1bP:' -e 's:$:\x1b\x1b\\\x1b\\\\:' | \ Not sure if there's a better way. -- N: Nieko Maatjes I: nieko.net E: scr...@nieko.net K: nieko.net/data/key O: Nieko @ IRCNet
