Default How does tmux select contents only in one pane ?

I split the window into two panes. When I select contents to copy using mouse in one pane, it will select contents in another pane.


Can I select the contents only in one pane using mouse ?

BTW, i start tmux by `xterm -e tmux` !

Not that I know. AFAIK, tmux doesn't work with mouse.

tmux copy paste with mouse

April 18, 2012 by awhan



problem at hand: how do i use the mouse to copy/paste text in xterm running tmux?
normally you should not have problems selecting text and pasting it with your mouse. everybody knows about left clicking and then dragging to select and copy the text. in order to paste you need to middle click your mouse. however there are certain options which if set will prevent this functionality.


if you have set the following options
  • mouse-select-pane
  • mouse-select-window
you will notice that you are not able to select text at all.
the solution is to use the shift key.
hold down the shift key and then left click and drag across the target text. you must also hold down the shift key and then middle click in order to paste the text.


this is not mentioned in the tmux man pages so i do not think this is a tmux feature. guess this has something to do with xterm but i m not sure.


xterm version 278-1
tmux version 1.6-2

It might be possible:

% man tmux

and search for "mouse".

(I haven't taken it any further than that here.)

set -g mode-mouse on
set -g mouse-select-pane on

then i can only select contents in one pane. but i cannot copy the contents to other application unless pressing shift key together.

However, it will select contents in other pane when pressing shift key.


Hope i make it clear.
