Hi Cédric,
Escape GNU Screen configuration quirks by executing commands sequentially
with "screen -X".  I am using xsel, since xclip seems to misbehave for
me. Also, Your :bufferfile should probably be set to a different filename
than "/tmp/screen-exchange".


bufferfile "$HOME/.screen-exchange"
bindkey -m > eval "stuff ' '" 'exec sh -c "screen -X writebuf && xsel -i < $HOME/.screen-exchange"'
bind < eval 'exec sh -c "xsel > $HOME/.screen-exchange && screen -X readbuf && screen -X paste ."'
