Query or Change Clipboard Data (OSC 52)

Query or change data on clipboards specified by t based on the value of d.

t is a list of zero or more characters that each correspond to a different type of clipboard on the system. The meaning of each character in t as defined by xterm is as follows:

t	Type
c	Standard clipboard
p	Primary clipboard
q	Secondary clipboard
s	Selection clipboard
0–7	Cut-buffer 0–7

Note

Ghostty only recognizes c, p, and s as valid values in t. Other types are treated as aliases for c. When t is omitted, Ghostty defaults to querying or modifying the primary clipboard (equivalent to c).

Warning

Ghostty currently only allows specifying one clipboard per sequence. This is a limitation on our end and may be fixed in the future.

When d is the single character ?, the terminal will reply with another OSC 52 sequence with the data found from the first clipboard listed in t that contains the requested data.

Otherwise, d is expected to be a Base64-encoded string that contains the new data for all clipboards listed in t.

If d is neither a valid Base64-encoded string or the character ?, all clipboards listed in t are cleared.
