tmux Shift + Mouse

Thu Aug 28, 2014

Using mouse to copy/paste in tmux panes.

I had been missing the “select and middle-click” method for copying and pasting stuff in tmux panes.

Thanks to this post, I learned that I can use the Shift key and bypass tmux’s own copy and paste method.

Key/Mouse Binding	Action
`Shift` + Mouse left button double-click	Copies the double-clicked word
`Shift` + Select using mouse	Copies the selection
`Shift` + Mouse middle button click	Pastes the copied text using above method in the `tmux` pane
