Thanks. On a random note, why do all unix applications (generalising I know) seem to default to a super-minimal set of options? Surely the kind of people who get annoyed by mouse integration (and you can just ignore it) are the kind of people who can find out how to turn it on, whereas those of us who are using tmux for the first time want all the nice options turned on by default?

  because people want to be able to use whatever terminal program with the terminal of their choice, even if their choices are wrong and/or insane. Although thank goodness for HN. Now I am aware of tmux mouse-mode and this makes things glorious. Now I just need to figure out a slick way to take the tmux selection and connect it to X's primary clipboard and I will be happy.

Sadly this still leaves you with a rather crippled subset of the real thing. I.e. "copy mode" instead of proper scrolling, no native text selection, and very noticeable latency and glitches. It's the price you pay for emulating a 35 years old piece of hardware[1] inside an emulator of the same... [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT100 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT100

  I wouldn't call the copy-mode "crippled subset of the real thing". With tmux's copy-mode, you can even select text without touching your mouse, using e.g. vim-like movements. Which is amazing feature. The fact, that the copy-mode doesn't jump back down with every change on stdout is also very nice feature. If you want to work with standard linux clipboard, you still can - just hold shift and select like in almost any linux TUI application.

  Well, it does work with urxvt. Since you provided nothing about your configuration, I can't tell you what's the problem.
