Description
- I am on the latest Hyper.app version
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
- OS version and name: MacOS 10.13.4
- Hyper.app version: 2.0.0
Issue
In iTerm 2, if we enable option 'Applications in terminal may access clipboard':

Then in tmux, the copy mode can copy content to system clipboard, not just tmux's own clipboard. This is a very useful feature to me. It would be nice if hyper can also support this.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing tmux copy mode on macOS with Hyper and compare it with the described iTerm 2 behavior; the work is done when copied tmux content reaches the system clipboard rather than only tmux’s clipboard.
