If paste is called with a second argument, the contents of the specified registers is pasted into the named destination register rather than the window. After copying the desired text into the GNU Screen paste buffer using copy mode, do the following: In any of your screen windows, type pbcopy. Then paste your text into the terminal using the GNU Screen paste command (Ctrl-a unless you've changed your escape key). If the text does not end in a newline, press to insert one.
