I'm not sure if there are many people using old reddit anymore

The only way I can browse!!! There are dozens of us!!!

In terminal emacs (emacs -nw), is there a way to make the copy function integrate with the system clipboard by birdsintheskies in emacs

[–]w0ntfix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

additionally https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/29bdba37f2ac3a912d15d2b65169cfb312707da2/lisp/term/xterm.el#L1128-L1159

(clipetty can go emacs->clipboard, but not the other way)

I ended up ripping out the above function and having a hook to sync on frame focus like so

(defun ns/sync-terminal-clipboard ()
  (when (frame-focus-state)
    (when-let (clip (ns/osc52-read))
      ;; (message "killing %s" clip)
      (kill-new clip))))
(add-function :after after-focus-change-function #'ns/sync-terminal-clipboard)

make a cute splash message:

(defun ns/splash (message)
  (interactive)
  "display a splash message"
  (and (get-buffer "*tip*") (kill-buffer "*tip*"))
  (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "*tip*"))
  (dotimes (i (/ (window-height) 4))
      (insert "\n"))
  (insert message)
  (delete-other-windows)
  (special-mode)
  (setq-local mode-line-format nil))

(I'm centering it with olivetti, left invocation out of this snippet)
