paste_text

TypeScript

Send input to a pane’s program; a shell that receives it runs it with your user’s permissions. Put text into a pane without tmux interpreting any of it as key names. Use for content — a password, a code block, anything with characters a key parser would claim.

Arguments

enter optional · boolean
Press Enter afterwards. Default false.
force optional · boolean
Allow writing to the pane this server itself was called from, which is otherwise refused. It does not override the refusal to write to a pane a person is watching — a pane an attached client has on screen is still refused with force.
paneId required · string
Stable pane id, e.g. %1.
text required · string
Text to paste. Sent through a tmux buffer, so a shell's line editor does not redraw on every character.
