I am using GNU Screen on Terminal. Is there a way to use what I copied in GNU Screen into OS X's clipboard? I'm running

  • Mac OS X 10.6.2
  • Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06

Edit: I was thinking about how to pass the content that is copied in copy mode in Screen to pbcopy.

You can use the writebuf screen command to write the buffer out to a file, then use e.g. pbcopy < /tmp/bufferfile.

I'm edit copy mode bindings to to copy paste buffer contents into OS X clipboard automatically.

# copy the screen pastbuffer to the MacOSX pastebord
bufferfile screen/screen-exchange
bindkey -m ' ' eval 'stuff \040' 'writebuf' 'exec sh -c "/usr/bin/pbcopy < screen/screen-exchange"'
bindkey -m Y   eval 'stuff Y'    'writebuf' 'exec sh -c "/usr/bin/pbcopy < screen/screen-exchange"'
bindkey -m W   eval 'stuff W'    'writebuf' 'exec sh -c "/usr/bin/pbcopy < screen/screen-exchange"'
