zsh-ghostty-copypaste

ghostty users, this zsh plugin allows you to copy / paste a text selected with the keyboard with ctrl+shift+c / ctrl+shift+v.

This is a complement to zsh-shift-select, allowing to copy with {ctrl+}shift+{left,right,up,down,home,end}.

To use it, add ghostty-copypaste to the plugins array of your .zshrc file:

plugins=(... ghostty-copypaste)

Principle

  • ghossty allows to copy / paste a text selected with the mouse, but not with the keyboard, because this is an action devoted to a terminal (zsh) and not to a terminal emulator (ghostty).
  • When no mouse selection is started, ghostty passes a Control Sequence Introducer ^[[99;6u / ^[[118;6u to zsh. The plugin binds these CSI to the correct copy / paste functions for X11 or Wayland.
  • Be careful, ghostty can lose focus when copying and pasting because of xclip or wl-copy/wl-paste in the plugin. If you use it as a context terminal ("quake"), it is best not to close it when it loses focus.
