Paste text

paste_text

paste_text

mutating tool

Paste multi-line text into a pane using tmux paste buffers.

Returns:

str

Use when you need to paste multi-line text into a pane — e.g. a code block, a config snippet, or a heredoc. Uses tmux paste buffers for clean multi-line input instead of sending text line-by-line via send_keys.

Side effects: Pastes text into the pane. With bracket=true (default), uses bracketed paste mode so the terminal knows this is pasted text.

Example:

{
  "tool": "paste_text",
  "arguments": {
    "text": "def hello():\n    print('world')\n",
    "pane_id": "%0"
  }
}

Response (string):

Text pasted to pane %0

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
text	str	yes	—	The text to paste.
pane_id	str	no	—	Pane ID (e.g. ‘%1’).
bracket	bool	no	True	Whether to use bracketed paste mode. Default True. Bracketed paste wraps the text in escape sequences that tell the terminal “this is pasted text, not typed input”.
session_name	str	no	—	Session name for pane resolution.
session_id	str	no	—	Session ID for pane resolution.
window_id	str	no	—	Window ID for pane resolution.
socket_name	str	no	—	tmux socket name.
