I forgot to send this before the last message I sent to the list:
Ah. There is some interference here. The use case I was *really* trying
to get working was copying text from an irssi client running within a
tmux session on a remote host accessed with ssh.
It would appear that the popup is coming from irssi. If I use another
tmux window (not running irssi), I can select text with a mouse, and
have it immediately "copied" (somewhere) when I release. However, it
still never makes it to my system clipboard (local system).
Let me re-check everything in my tmux configuration on the remote
system. I'd really not like to be required to use xterm and X (as well
as X forwarding over SSH), but I will do that if necessary.
<I've done the above and sent the results in my previous message to the
list>

tmux doesn't work like you describe. If you select text with the mouse
it should copy as soon as you release. The only copy menu items are to
copy a word or a line. Are you sure you are actually copying using
tmux and not the terminal's own tools? Do you see the text you copied
if you enter buffer mode or use list-buffers?
You will not be able to get xsel or xclip working from another host
without X11 forwarding, you could try that but OSC 52 is usually easier.
If you are sure you are copying using tmux, then:
- Did you restart X or reload the .Xresources with xrdb before
starting xterm?
- Did you follow the steps in the clipboard page quick start section
to make sure everything is set up properly?

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?
