(given that @A-R has brought this thread back-to-life)


I have been surprised/shocked/horrified/annoyed to discover that the
(Linux) clipboard is not accessible from "Kitty".

Go on, I dare you to remind me that good-old 'dumb-terminals' didn't
have 'clipboards'...
(neither did they have to cope with Unicode, emoticons, or national flags!)


Accordingly, having developed an idea in the REPL (running within
Kitty), could not later copy-paste into a Python module or tutorial text
(nor, next time the situation arises, to be able to illustrate an answer
to a question posted 'here').

Am somewhat in disbelief, and my fingers feel slightly singed. Grump!
(or its seasonal variation: "Grinch")


Am open to further non-terminal, terminal suggestions...

(during my post-op recovery period, am hoping to experiment with another
Linux distro (and Window Manager), which may alter the playing-field...)


Meantime, casting-off the terminal-Grinch, compliments of the season to
you...
