Panel 1: multiline It's SO scary when you paste a bunch of commands by accident and then it runs them all. fish, zsh, and newer bash versions protect you from this: you have to press Enter before running the thing you pasted. This is called "bracketed paste" panel 2: problem: copying with the mouse can go wrong - copying 400 lines of text by dragging is nobody's idea of a good time - sometimes extra whitespace that you didn't want gets added at the end of lines panel 3: person: “copying a LOT of text is way easier if you don't use the mouse! Here are 2 tricks for copying without the mouse.

It uses an escape code called "OSC 52". printf "\033]52;c;%s\007" "$(base64 | tr -d '\n')" panel 6: copy trick 2: syncing the vim clipboard I use vim as a terminal text editor, and I find it's WAY easier if I sync my system clipboard with the vim clipboard like this: set clipboard=unnamed tmux can also copy to your system clipboard.
