Thanks for this but I think we do not want two ways to do this. Iterm2 is
actively developed - did you consider contributing support for the xterm
mechanism there?

Subject: iTerm2 support for set-clipboard
I note that the set-clipboard window option is currently hardcoded to work with
xterm. iTerm2 provides a similar escape code[1] for setting the system
clipboard. I'd like to see support for this added to tmux and am willing to
work up a patch for it. FWIW, I'm not currently using the tmux-iTerm2
integration; the above discussion applies to "stock" tmux as used with iTerm2.
Here's a straw-man proposal for how this might work:
1. Add a new window option, e.g. 'clipboard-provider'. Valid values are
''iterm2', 'xterm'.
Default is 'xterm'.
2. 'set-clipboard' works as it currently does, now using the mechanism from
'clipboard-provider'.
Notes:
An 'auto' value for 'clipboard-provider' would be nice, but may be tricky to
implement reliably. E.g. is there a decent way to determine the terminal
environment a window is created under? What happens when a window is attached
in two locations (e.g. pair-programming, one user in xterm, another in iTerm2)?
This could be explored in a separate patch.
The new option 'clipboard-provider' could be dropped in favor of adding values
to 'set-clipboard', e.g. [ on | off | xterm | iterm2 ]. In that case 'on'
would be an alias for 'xterm' for backwards compatibility.
A related (or alternative) idea is an option to configure set-clipboard to work
like copy-pipe, directing the selection to an external tool.
Thoughts?
