That's interesting. I practically never use the mouse to switch between windows in OS X or Windows. The biggest problem I have with tmux is vertical splits don't work with native copy-paste because the selection goes across both panes. Using multiple terminal windows, on the other hand, doesn't have that issue.

Native copy/paste typically requires a mouse. using tmux's copy-mode and pasting doesn't require a mouse an still stays inside panes.

  But the tmux copy paste is horribly inefficient.

    Less efficient than reaching for the mouse? :)

      In iTerm2 I use command+f and expand the selection using tab/shift+tab.

        Now that's the kind of out of box thinking I like to see (leaning on selection auto-copy). Works well, thanks.

  Using a mouse, you can use tmux's new (in 1.8) pane expansion. prefix + z causes the current pane to take up the entire window. prefix + z again and it goes back to normal. Essentially, it's a maximized/restore capability.
