I just tried with kitty, and konsole, on linux and selecting text within a tmux split works perfectly. So does copy-paste (use Ctrl-Shift-C instead of Ctrl-C).

  Is this through tmux’s mouse mode? Can you select three lines of only the left side of the session? Does this also work in vim and other places that draw soft boundaries on the screen? I just tried this in kitty and it didn’t work

    Yes I see what you mean. I have tmux mouse mode enabled which makes this possible. This works in nvim as well because it also has mouse support. Presumably iTerm supports selecting text in a single pane even when you have mouse mode turned off. IMO this setting belongs with the application, and especially with tmux and nvim supporting this natively, you don't really need the terminal itself to implement some potentially fallible heuristic. For example with iTerm if you accidentally drag outside the pane boundary, the selection immediately expands to include both the panes, which is not ideal.

      I like it because I can design programs to output pipe-delimited tables and selection works correctly (I also hate terminal apps that use the mouse and disable mouse mode everywhere so that mouse selection in the terminal works predictably)
