Handle terminal clipboard requests

Review clipboard reads requested by terminal programs and control access.

Updated 1 min read

Terminal programs can use OSC 52 to write the clipboard or request clipboard text. MAO asks before giving a program access to read it.

Respond to a clipboard request

  1. When the clipboard card appears, review the text the program would receive.
  2. Choose Allow to answer the read request with the displayed clipboard text, or Deny to refuse it.
  3. The terminal applies OSC 52 clipboard writes from the program.
LimitPressing Enter never approves a clipboard read. A held paste from you takes priority over a program’s read request.
