Except you can't natively select text for copy/paste anymore. When you click-drag you're now triggering a tmux selection, not the native terminal-emulator high

When you click-drag you're now triggering a tmux selection, not the native terminal-emulator highlight. This is a big problem because the emulated variant is slow and behaves nothing like the real thing.
To my understanding this is also a problem that can't be solved without further terminal emulator support. As it stands the remote application (tmux) can either receive all mouse-events or none of them.
This means you have to choose between scroll-wheel support plus broken text-selection - or no scroll-wheel support.
- ajtaylor 15y agoI tried the mouse integration and turned it back off for the same reason as you. Not having copy-paste at the terminal level is a non-starter as far as I'm concerned. Learning the vim movement commands better eliminated most needs for the mouse-pointing ability anyway.

- desipenguin 15y agoSame here. But I found a decent workaround. I have following in my .tmux.conf: set -g history-limit 1000 # See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tmux#Scrolling_issues set -g terminal-overrides 'xterm*:smcup@:rmcup@' Now I can scroll using "scroll bar" which is acceptable for me. Plus I also get native text-selection.
