13:56 <rumpelsepp> Hey hey. I am currently trying the OSC52 clipboard stuff. I want to write a shell script which reads the clipboard content via OSC52. How can I prevent that foot also writes the answer to the interactive shell that starts my test script?

13:57 <rumpelsepp> Currently I am trying this: echo -e "\e]52;c;?\e\\" && read -r -t0 -s data

13:59 <rumpelsepp> It works and the `data` variabe contains the answer. But I also have the answer present on my commandline prompt.

14:02 <rumpelsepp> Oh, I am a monkey, the data var is empty…

20:53 <dnkl> rumpelsepp: did you get it working?

20:55 <rumpelsepp> I think so, thanks for asking. I realized that the returned data is terminated by an escape character. (Iirc it's not in the manpage). Then it was easy.

20:56 <rumpelsepp> Would paste the snippet but I am on my phone currently

21:01 <dnkl> rumpelsepp: you're right about the man page. That should be fixed. Remind me in a couple of days if I haven't updated the docs... :)

21:03 <dnkl> rumpelsepp: fwiw, the terminator is the 7-bit variant of ST: "\e\\". i.e ESC followed by a single backslash.

21:04 <rumpelsepp> Yeah right. I ignored the backslash for the time being. :D

21:04 <rumpelsepp> <dnkl "stefan: you're right about the m"> Will do :)
