Add an 'Allow apps to set clipboard (OSC 52)' checkbox under Settings -> Advanced -> Miscellaneous (enabled by default). It binds to the terminal's clipboardWriteAllowed property so remote applications (e.g. tmux with 'set-clipboard on') can copy to the local clipboard over SSH. Unchecking it restores the previous behaviour. The setting is persisted like the other application settings. Depends on the corresponding qmltermwidget change that implements OSC 52 and exposes the clipboardWriteAllowed property; the submodule pointer should be bumped once that lands.

Summary
Adds an "Allow apps to set clipboard (OSC 52)" checkbox under Settings → Advanced → Miscellaneous (enabled by default). It binds to the terminal's
clipboardWriteAllowedproperty so remote applications (e.g.tmuxwithset-clipboard on) can copy to the local clipboard over SSH. Unchecking it restores the previous behaviour. The setting is persisted alongside the other application settings.Depends on
qmltermwidget PR: Swordfish90/qmltermwidget#53
That PR implements OSC 52 handling and exposes the
clipboardWriteAllowedproperty this checkbox binds to. This PR intentionally does not bump theqmltermwidgetsubmodule pointer — that bump should happen once the companion PR merges, so the pointer references an upstream commit. Until then the QML change is inert (the property simply has no effect).Testing
Built on macOS (Qt 6) with the companion qmltermwidget change: the checkbox appears in Advanced → Miscellaneous, defaults to on, persists across restarts, and toggling it enables/disables OSC 52 clipboard writes live.
