Can we use osc52 to paste from clipboard as well?

[mikekaminsky]

Apologies if this is a very dumb question, I'm only just now starting to get my feet wet with this. Also, thanks for making this plugin -- it works great and solves a big painpoint I had.

Is it possible to use this technique to paste as well? I'd like to be able to have <Leader>p paste from my local system clipboard the same way that <Leader>y copies to my system clipboard. E.g., making this work:

vnoremap <Leader>y "+y <bar> :call SendViaOSC52(getreg('"'))<CR>
nnoremap <Leader>p "+p

If this is possible and you can point me in the right direction, I'd be happy to try to get it working.

Depending on which terminal you use, Ctrl + Shift + V may be used to paste.

Some terminals implement fetching the system clipboard content via the OSC 52 with 0;? as content (instead of 0;base64-encoded-content, but it does not seem to be widely supported, from my quick tests. If I get it to work on mintty, I'll implement it and push an update.

Seems like mintty deliberately did not implement it, for security reasons. Given that the system clipboard should already be available via some other key sequence (Ctrl+Shift+V as @thiagowfx said, or Shift+Insert), I'll just close this issue.
