I use some vim key bindings, not sure how much of that is influenced here.
But the option for vim key bindings is:
set -g mode-keys vi
But here’s the copy and paste … recipe?
To copy:
1. Enter copy-mode to move to the text to select. ctrl+b followed by [
2. Navigate to the thing to be selected
3. Begin the selection with space
4. Navigate to the end of the thing to be selected
5. Press enter
To paste:
1. Press ctrl+b
2. Press ]
While in copy-mode you can toggle the column or line based selection by tapping the v. It toggles whether or not you have a selection and it visually updates when toggled while you do have a selection.
I had been calling copy-mode scrollback mode for years, I had no idea what it was called, but while investigating how to use the tmux clipboard I found the actual name in the tmux manual.
There’s some fancy stuff you can do to export it to your preferred clipboard, but I think clipboard usage is enough of a mess, so I’m just going to use it from Tmux, for now, at least.
