> Send input to a pane's program; a shell that receives it runs it with your user's permissions. Paste a block of text into exactly one pane through a tmux buffer. Use for multi-line text, or anything an editor would mangle if typed — bracketed paste stops auto-indent. Set enter to append a newline to that same private buffer. It refuses a target in a human-owned mode and never fans out to synchronized siblings. The temporary buffer is deleted afterwards; if cleanup fails, the result identifies what remains.

Server behavior and tool contracts may change. Tool availability depends on the server configuration.

Send input to a pane’s program; a shell that receives it runs it with your user’s permissions. Paste a block of text into exactly one pane through a tmux buffer. Use for multi-line text, or anything an editor would mangle if typed — bracketed paste stops auto-indent. Set enter to append a newline to that same private buffer. It refuses a target in a human-owned mode and never fans out to synchronized siblings. The temporary buffer is deleted afterwards; if cleanup fails, the result identifies what remains.
