Paste into termux-float

You can paste into normal termux by long press. Is there any functionality to paste to floating window Termux?

@wende It's not possible at the moment, we need some UI for it.

If you have the Termux:API add-on installed, you can use the termux-clipboard-get command as a workaround for the moment.

This can be done with a tmux config.

bind V run-shell "termux-clipboard-get >~/.tmux-buffer-tmp" \; load-buffer -b tmp-copy-buffer ~/.tmux-buffer-tmp \; paste-buffer -b tmp-copy-buffer -d \; run-shell -b "rm ~/.tmux-buffer-tmp"
bind C save-buffer ~/.tmux-buffer-tmp \; run-shell "cat ~/.tmux-buffer-tmp | termux-clipboard-set " \; run-shell -b "rm ~/.tmux-buffer-tmp"

Prefix + C or V to copy to android clipboard or paste.

@bit-garden I don't get how to run tmux config in termux and how to get the control+V to work. I would love to have a bit more guidance if you could help.
