io.github.libtmux.Pane.Pane.paste

<p>Nothing in the text is looked up as a key name, so a line containing Enter or a bracket arrives as those characters. That is what an editor, a REPL, or anything reading a here-document needs, and it is the difference from #send .

<p>tmux needs a buffer to paste from, and this one travels in the same invocation as the paste that consumes it. A caller that stops in between therefore cannot leave the text in the paste history every session on the server can read.

<p>The text goes to tmux on standard input rather than as an argument, so it is not bounded by the size of a tmux command and never reaches tmux's parser.
