Hello!

The OSC 52 escape sequence allows for programs to write to the OS's clipboard,
which e.g. makes it possible to copy text programmatically, and/or from a
remote session without having to use the mouse.

Screen sorts of supports this when wrapping the OSC 52 sequence in DCS
markers, e.g. like this:
printf "\033P\033]52;c;$(printf "%s" "test" | base64)\a\033\\"

However, this doesn't work in nested screens.

The included patch adds OSC 52 support to screen itself, so the DCS markers
are no longer necessary. (They continue to work just fine, though.)

Best regards,

Nieko Maatjes
