No I haven't.  I'll look for that plugin and try it.  Thanks.

I'm wondering, however, whether my issue has something to do with SSH (remote access).  I just tried an experiment:

From xterm on my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system, I proved to myself that X windows copy/paste worked fine. Then I started up tmux, and tried selecting with mouse and pasting in the tmux window. That worked fine too.  Then I exited tmux, and SSH'ed to my VPS.  I tried X windows style copy/paste, and this worked fine (not running tmux remotely yet).  Then I started up tmux (the use case that I need to get working) from my SSH session on the VPS.  Now, copy/paste dosn't work any more.  tmux enters copy mode when I use the mouse, highlights the text when I select it with the mouse, gives me a popup menu that offers to copy the line, and when I select that menu item and release the mouse, and try to paste the result, I get nothing.

So it is the combination of SSH and tmux that prevents tmux from letting me copy/paste.  Does that suggest anything?

Have you tried setting up the tmux-yank plugin? That is what I am using to copy to the clipboard, together with xsel.

I'm trying to simply highlight the text with the mouse -- which does highlight, and then use the "Copy ..." contexts menu that comes up to copy to the system clipboard.  This works fine on my Mac -- just not on Linux.

I've also tried entering copy mode, selecting the start and end via keyboard -- and that also doesn't work.

How are you copying from tmux?

    I did.  That was where I found all the references to binding
    keys for xsel.

    However, I looked at it again, and found the section where it
    said that xterm supported OSC 52. So I configured the required:

    |XTerm*disallowedWindowOps: 20,21,SetXprop|||

    in my ~/.Xresources, and fired up xterm. It has the same
    problem. Nothing I copy out of my tmux session makes it to the
    system clipboard.

    Read the clipboard page on the tmux wiki.

        Thanks. Google searches for "OSC 52" AND terminal AND
        "Ubuntu 22.04 LTS"
        don't turn up anything. Do you know that such a terminal
        program exists
        for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS?
