This adds support to setting the system and primary (X11 & Wayland) clipboards using OSC52. This makes the clipboard commands work even on remote session such as SSH.
While this doesn't work on all terminals, most modern terminals support OSC52 including Alacritty, Kitty, Xterm.JS, etc. For terminals, that don't support OSC52, application developers should consider using a Golang clipboard library like https://github.com/atotto/clipboard.
OSC52 support can be detected if the terminal responds to a
ReadClipboard
command.Fixes: #982
